Conclusions so farConclusions so far
Total flying time is decreasing Flying time per individual pilot is
constant XC flying is increasing, i e the flying
quality has increased We fail to get new members, or better,
we fail to renew the membership We are getting older!

The view from ”the top”:The view from ”the top”:
We have realized the problem We want to do something about it!
But The flying/training/recruiting is
done in/by the clubs

The view from ”the bottom”:The view from ”the bottom”:
Middle age, socially established, time enough for gliding
Fewer pilots better access to gliders, no launching queue etc
Promoting gliding working instead of gliding
So, why bother, life is good!

One good argumentOne good argument
Who will run your wing tip in 10 years?

My view is My view is
Gliding is done in the clubs, so we have to persuade the clubs to approach the problem
We do not have a recruiting problem, we have a leadership problem (there are too few!)
The Federation can only support the clubs, not do the work for them
![Page 15: Swedish Gliding 2001 71 clubs 5700 members (3000 active pilots) 400 gliders and 70 TMG 35 500 flying hours, 59 000 launches and 400 000 km XC 280 instructors,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e3b5503460f94b2e028/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The clubs must send more pilots to our instructor courses
It is better to do a lot of small activities than try to launch a major programme
