Hello !!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

James Edward:
I am just not comfortable anymore with night time driving on unfamiliar roads. Couple that with getting up early to go to work makes the Friday night meetings daunting for me.
I do still very much enjoy our shared passion- it is still a priority for me, and my stereo is on for a couple of hours almost daily. I guess things just change. I know my eyesight did...

jimbones:
looking forward to reconvening meetings. I am still very interested in the hobby. Having just retired I will have more time once I get things done on my Honey-do list. I love building speakers but as Tom said it is getting tiring moving heavy equipment so my system may be transforming.

And as it has been ever since this thread started, there is a significant percentage of the club membership that for whatever reason is just not interested in participating in an online forum type discussion. This is nothing new. Just look at the stats on this thread. It was started in 2009 and in the twelve years it has been in existence there have been less than 200 posts here. It's not like this thread was burning up the board, even in the heyday of AN. It is a concept that just never took root with the club.

But just because it has been quiet here, that does not mean that there has been no communications among the club members. The folks in the clubs for whatever reason feel more comfortable keeping in touch via email and text messaging discussions than those have been going on outside of AN. This again is no big change from what has gone on in the past.

And as for club meetings, they have not died out because of lack of interest, they are dormant right now because the vast majority of our membership is age 65 and over, which puts them right smack in the middle of the Covid danger zone. The meetings stopped because people did not feel safe getting together for health reasons. The group has come to a consensus that we think it will be safe to resume in person meetings in the fall. And if things keep going they way they are currently trending I think that is a realistic goal, but of course things can change pretty quickly so at this point we will just have to monitor the situation and hope for the best.

  This Thread was not accepted by the powers to be in our Club because I set it up period. We recently started a music discussion online. So far three or four members have posted on it. Mostly new members. GTGs were posted with NO response. Yet the click meets every Friday. Flea Market mentioned. NO interest. Very little participation.
  Other members who desire to remain silent feel the same way. For almost 20 years as President we had a different Club. I miss that. That is all I am saying. Get involved.

 There you go Jim Hey, you are welcome any day to come over. DIY Speaker building could be a subject to discuss.
