Sound advice though.
Our club Daventry no longer has any club waters and we have more members than a few years ago because we have settled on one or two match venues that are popular locally and have a better relationship with the owners because we are regulars.
Despite the going rate in your area being £20 which may be fine for opens but not really for club matches and not if you want to get youngsters or retired folk involved. Run some Golden pegs which only members can have and cap them at £50. You might have two or three matches where you have more than one GP and this can spark extra interest. Spend some of your dormant cash as suggested as it simply is doing nothing for the club sitting in the bank. With that much in premium bonds you should be getting regular payouts, are you? if so are you spending it or reinvesting in more bonds?
