Some very good points were made about the changes society has had since York began. While I pointed out some things in favor of having it more on the weekend, us younger members should honor what the older members still enjoy too.
I think being involved with kids is a way to grow the hobby. Unfortunately a lot of parents don't do a whole lot with their kids. Heck, look around anywhere you go, phones are always a distraction. There just aren't that many Dad's looking to do something like go out and buy plywood and build something. I really wonder what will happen with the mental/cognitive affects on kids with so much screen time and phone use. Look at the reply above about a separate hobby club on Facebook. It's almost like Facebook is a separate world people live in.
Perhaps something the TCA could do is increase their online presence. If a lot of people spend their time online, perhaps offer more of a draw for things people could get at home online. I imagine that is what the folks realized at OGR a while back.
