Does your club have any 'black tie' functions? We have 2, the summer ball and the captain's dinner. Do you go? Chance to get dressed up and show off your trophy wife/girlfriend
Our annual dinner was black tie but last year was cancelled due to lack of interest and changed to a more informal event instead, we are not even trying to hold one this year.
Maybe if there wasn't a focus on dressing up they would be more popular?Our club are trying to resurrect the pre covid level of social activity. Its slow progress!
I think the decline in "dressing up" is a sad one. You don't need it all the time but on once in a while it's good.
It seems that younger members arent interesting in the formality of a black tie event, I also think that people have got out of attending functions at the club, numbers attending the new year's eve do were down and it previous years it was sold out. The quality of the catering may also have had a bearing, happily we have new caterers starting this week.What do you put the loss of interest down to, as presumably it was previously held and well-attended, but since the Covid golf boom it’s fallen by the wayside?
