It was great for the sponsor to step up, however it is notoriously difficult to pull folks into a meeting during the week unless they are very local to the store. Weekend meetings are always better attended, however that's also the busiest time for the LFS. Sometimes after hours events work best for this type of thing.
I also didn't see much promotion of the meeting other than the sponsor forum? It is entirely possible that I missed the home page announcement though.
It's not possible for every board member to make every meeting (I miss my own meetings periodically due to travel or other events) however there should be official representation from the club. If this was an club event, then at least one board member should have shown up to run the meeting and thank the sponsor, or at the least, one member should speak for the board.
We are getting into the summer months. Folks are outside, tanks are put on auto-pilot, LFS stocks are low and meetings are poorly attended. It will stay this way till October. We really do have a seasonal hobby..... even for the die hards!
