We had a young German lad Leon with us a few weeks ago, but he as gone now.. Great young lad with some great birds, he was racing in Germany. But was a site member.
It’s a shame that Leon left the site Devo.
Yes it is

No young members, but we have had another 3 members join our club this year. We now have 18 flying members in our club. It’s a shame when no one wants the secretary job or the club gets too small. I have been secretary in 2 different clubs. It is far easier now than it used to be with modern technology. Used to take hours on a Sunday filling out results and sending them off to feds and combines. Having to then post them first thing Monday morning. Now it’s just the push of a button on Saturday night. Job done.
Good to see members joining Andy

Our club is quite lucky. Late 30s is the youngest but another 3 are early 40s.

Possibly with the Bendigo club, they are racing from the west next year, so they could pick mine up on the way through. More to test mine than anything.
Hope they do mate

I'll say about 10 members & I'm the youngest @ 66, think in the end probably a lot of clubs will have to join up to form a bigger club, that's going to be the reality for us all. I can't see many if at all younger people joining & taking the hobby up, think they'd rather spend all the time on mobile phone, play station etc, what a life this generation are living, how I wish we could go back to the 70's/80's great times back then.
