IMPLICATIONS IN MEETING NEEDS OF MEMBERS AGED 35 – 49 YEARS
IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IF WE WISH TO TARGETPERSONS AGED 35 – 49 YEARS, SO AS TO MEETTHE NEEDS OF THE MAJORITY OF CURRENTMEMBERS (REGARDLESS OF AGE), IN THEOPERATION OF OUR CLUBS, WE NEED TOENSURE THEY APPEAL TO PERSONS AGED35 – 49 YEARS – HOW THEREFORE, DOES THECLUB CARE SURVEY RESULTS HELP US?
![Page 11: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HELPFUL POINTERS
THE VERY GOOD NEWS With the vast majority of issues surveyed,
the needs of persons aged 35 – 49 years are the same or little in difference to those of other age groups – however there are some areas of difference, although these differences in most cases are not large
![Page 12: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THE DIFFERENCESNATIONAL ANTHEM FREQUENCY
35-49 50-65 65 & OverHave at every Meeting 16% 22% 28%Every second Meeting 3% 3% 4%Only at Special Meetings 36% 36% 34%Prefer not at all 30% 27% 20%
It would seem there is less support for the anthem among thoseaged 35 – 39 .. While support is stronger in the older age groups,even there, a combination of the last two answers is greater than50%
![Page 13: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
THE DIFFERENCESTOAST TO MONARCH FREQUENCY
35-49 50-64 65 & OverHave at every Meeting 40% 49% 63%Every second Meeting 5% 5% 6%Only at Special Meetings 16% 17% 13%Prefer not at all 25% 21% 10%
Again there’s less support than that in the older age groups
![Page 14: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
THE DIFFERENCESA CHRISTIAN BASED INVOCATION
35-49 50-64 65&OverEvery Meeting 35% 45% 55%Every second Meeting 7% 6% 7%Only Special Meetings 13% 9% 6%Non Christians say theirs 6% 5% 4%A period of silence 4% 3% 2%Not at all 16% 13% 8%Only 42% aged 35 – 49 seek a Christian based invocation at every orevery second meeting, similar to the 39% who gave one of the otheranswers shown
![Page 15: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OTHER DIFFEERENCES
We’ll now have a look at issues where there is a marked difference in view between members in accordance with the century in which they were inducted
![Page 16: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PARTNER IS A LION
Joined last century 17%
Joined this century 31%
This is good news as we can now more often expect two members from the same household – since this survey was conducted the Family Membership Dues concept has been introduced where the second person receives a 50% reduction in the International and Multiple District portions
![Page 17: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ONLY 1 NON BOARD MEETING PER MONTH
Last Century This CenturyHave that now 26% 29%Would welcome the change 9% 11%Would not be concerned 14% 16%Would have minor concerns 13% 13% Total 62% 69%Would have major concern 29% 17%
These results reflect a move to a lesser number of meetings, perhaps indicative of lifestyle changes brought about by family and workplace requirements
![Page 18: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
NUMBER OF GUEST SPEAKERS
Last Century This CenturyHave the right number 58% 67%Not enough 38% 28%Too many 1% 1%
Just over 1 in 4 joining this century want extra guest speakers, whereas this rises to nearly 2 in 5 among longer serving members
![Page 19: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
VISITS TO OTHER CLUBS
Last Century This CenturyHave the right number 42% 54%Not enough 53% 39%Too many 0% 1%
Clearly, even though around 2 in 5 who joined this century would like an increase in the number of visits to other clubs, as a group they are certainly more satisfied than those who joined last century
![Page 20: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BACK TO THE ANTHEM & TOAST TO THE MONARCH
Anthem Toast Century Century Last This Last ThisEvery meeting 26% 20% 60% 44%Every second meeting 4% 3% 6% 4% Total 30% 23% 66% 48%Only at special meetings 34% 37% 14% 19%Not at all 24% 25% 14% 21% Those now joining (62% of them) opt for the anthem at special meetings
or not at all – support for the toast is much stronger with both groups, however while it has 66% support from those who joined last century, this falls to 48% among those who’ve joined this century.
![Page 21: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
AND THE CHRISTIAN BASED INVOCATION
Last Century This CenturyEvery meeting 54% 37%Every second meeting 7% 6%Only special meetings 7% 10%Non Christians say there’s 4% 6%A period of silence 2% 4%Not at all 10% 14%Not stated 11% 11% As can be seen many now don’t want such an invocation
![Page 22: NATIONAL CLUB CARE SURVEY RESULT CONDUCTED MID 2006 PARTICIPATING MEMBERS 5,546](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051417/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7aef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES, HOWEVER LET’S LOOK AT ETHICS & OBJECTS/PURPOSES
Ethics Purposes Century Century Last This Last ThisEvery meeting 53% 56% 46% 52%Every second meeting 23% 15% 23% 16% Total 76% 71% 69% 68%Only special meetingsand inductions 20% 22% 20% 23% New Total 96% 93% 89% 91% There are no major differences – so continue with confidence

A WORD OF CAUTION
All matters revealed in the Results Presentationshould only be used as a guideWhat is right for each individual Club iswhatever the outcome is, once their membershave completed the Club Care SurveyFor those associated with forming new Clubs,the overall results and trends could prove veryuseful – helping to avoid the pitfall of cloningnew Clubs in the ways of last century experience
