Most of the young people are of the anti-social nerdy type that others
would
not like to be with. Therefore, other young people don't join.
Well got news for you. It's the anti-social nerdy types in our society that
make the majority of technical and business advances. They are focused on
their goals rather than looking for social clubs. All of our computer
technology has come from the "geeks" and some of those boys have gotten
wealty (Bill Gates comes to mind here).
The other alternative is to start my own club. I tried it, but that was
not
too successful.
Not "too" successful?
Two other people showed up. One person was a typical Ham type and believed
that
I could get more members by appealing to current Hams. If I could find
current
Hams with those interests, I would not have to start this type of club.
The other person, although not an EE, was sincerely interested in
technical
projects.
Due to certain factors such as the lack of a meeting place, getting enough
members, and lack of funds, and other factors, the club could not get
started.
EVERY club had that problem in the beginning. However each of the
successful clubs had a leader who was willing to WORK to overcome all these
factors. It certainly looks like your expectations of what it takes to get
a club going were very unrealistic.
