80% of UK Tars members never attend a Tars event.
There are probably many reasons for this, but rather than trying to go into them (old age, unwillingness to travel, a crowded calendar, lack of time etc etc), a comparison can be made with other societies in the UK. I belong to a number of small societies, serving varied interests, and in every case the proportion of members who never attend meetings is about 70-80%. These societies are nation-wide. It is different with local societies, serving a particular area - here the active percentage is much higher.
