The local all breed club that I belong to used to have 
obedience/conformation classes that were open to members and 
non-members.  That's how they got a lot of members.  When I first joined 
about three years ago, they had an attendance of 30-40 people at their 
meetings.  They lost their location for their classes and have not been 
able to find another.  I haven't been to a meeting in about two years.  
The minutes from the last general membership meeting showed they had 12 
members in attendance.

Our clubs will not survive unless we offer something for people to do 
with their dogs.
