Reasons; age (most members are old enough to be affected by cold weather), key members going south for the winter (club has a lot of retired persons now), the real workers that cart the equipment and set it up and run it are kind of burned out after years of doing it, attendance is trending downward (just the hint of bad weather keeps many away, age thing again). Probably a few more that are not evident at this time in my mind.
Sad but age takes it toll on all of us.
