Club Racing Turnouts 2013

We're at the end of the season, we've had some shocking weather at times and yet  it's been great at others.   Some clubs seem to be way down on turnout while others are running as usual, while still others have bloomed.
How has your club fared, and if its turnout has gone up or down, do you have a theory as to why?

	From my limited amount of racing the peak amount of boats showing up has increased but there has also been weeks when turnout has been very poor. Overall club membership is well up though, we are almost at the point of needing a waiting list so womething must be going right!

	we're up almost 50 extra starters over the 120 races held for our fast handicap fleet, cant speak for the other fleets though.

	My personal club racing has been way down. So much so that I don't know the answer to the question. I have spent a fair amount of time simply sailing, though.
