The ongoing problem with growth is that scenes only seem to be able to reach a certain size (typically 15 to 30 players).
Ain't that the truth.
I think growing beyond where we're at now is going to be really tough. Bigger scenes can support beginners sessions, but smaller scenes get infrequent and limited interest from new players who get shoe-horned into regular throw-in sessions, often unsuccessfully unless they're already confident on a bike.
I'm totally happy to stay a niche within a niche within a niche, but we need new players coming in to replace players quitting/moving/getting injured.

Off topic, apologies.
