Hi, after a discussion at a club meeting with other regions, it seems there's definitely a general downturn on members attending AGMs, the rally field could be full but few attend the actual AGM, can I ask why after all the hard work that the clubs volunteers do for the members over the year that there is a general poor support for the AGM, it's also a chance to meet club executive committee members to discuss anything to do with caravanning? What can Centres/Regions/Divisions do to encourage members to attend? Constructive answers please.

Unfortunately all AGM's, not just CAMC Centre ones, are seen and usually are dull and boring and seen as no more than getting through mandatory administration. They are also very stuffy. At my Centres AGM you could always tell who was standing for the committee because the men all had suits on and the ladies had best dresses. All other attendees were dressed casually. We tried having a rally over the AGM weekend with a meal and entertainment on the Saturday evening. This did improve numbers somewhat but was a lot of work for the few volunteers.

A very personal view I have is that we are gradually moving to a 'taking' society and moving away from a 'giving' society.
