I think the crisis has bitten a lot of people here, so that might be why they haven't got back.

On the issue of members participation or, to put it another way, doing the work at events etc., there is a principle that has yet to disproven in any substantive way. Its known as Pareto's Principle or the 80/20 Rule.

Although it was a guy named Juran, working in the US in the 1930s and 40s who actually defined the universal principle which he called the "vital few and trivial many" and put it in writing.

Juran's observation of the "vital few and trivial many" observes that the principle that 20 percent of something is always responsible for 80 percent of the results.

In re-enacting its always a small group who 'do' most of the work no matter what the task is. The important thing is to recognise who they are look after this "vital few". The "trivial many" will make up the numbers when they feel like it, they just do not regard it as a priority for whatever reason.
