<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2485617, member: 26302&quot;]Coin clubs are what you make of them. Usually they are on the backs of a few who care. Why not trying to care? Put together a presentation for the club. Write up an article with pictures to hand out, go over an interesting area of numismatics, etc. I find the more I try to fix the problem the less time I have to complain about the problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Run for president, make it a precedent that new members are greeted warmly and allowed to attend for 3 months before asked to join, institute an auction or method to trade items, etc. If we do not actively get involved in coin clubs they go away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, coin clubs have always been populated by old men. I was 20 when I went to my first one, and mainly old men. I belong to one now, mainly old men. I am sure when I am an old man, it will mainly be old men. Old men are simply the demographic most likely to attend coin clubs. I am sure this was true 100 years ago as well. Many old men, though, are fantastic to learn from. I learned a ton over the years just chatting with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
