Our club, which is also in decline, trains 5-6 new kids in CL every year through a 4H club. Yep they are not just into animals and farming anymore. Over the last ten years not one kid has stuck with it. There is just to many other things to attract their interest I guess.
We always get a lot of interest at demos when we pull out the trainer, but it is like an amusement ride, fun, but no cigar.
Mike is right, what is the average age of a CLer , I will bet it is close to 70.
