Step 9: Start to plan for the longer term success of the club
If your club just keeps the same members and doesn't review its activities, it runs the risk of becoming static and eventually withering away as members drift off. A healthy club is one that has a regular influx of new members and a periodic change in office-bearers on the committee. It has a mix of recreational, competitive and social activities. And it's regularly thinking about the future. You don't have to be ambitious, provided you keep reviewing whether your club is doing with the current and potential future members actually want. If you look around at other clubs, you'll find that they may be recruiting more younger members (the full members of the future), looking to expand their facilities, starting new competitions or joining new leagues, or providing more training and coaching for their members. There are many options for developing your club - you just need to decide which is the most appropriate.
