+wimseyguy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 With apologies to Groucho Marx-I would never join a club that would have me as a member. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I suspect that it's a fairly small percentage. I assume that it's a subset of the cachers that regularly attend geocaching events, which is likely not to be a huge percentage. Quote Link to comment
+WalruZ Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Who the heck knows? It seems like a chore to figure out. Perhaps you should do that work instead of expecting us to. Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Tough to say. The FL Geo Association had around 1200 registered users over it first 4 years. Truthfully about 20 regular posters on the website and another 20 or so that drop in occasionally. A bunch more who use the FGA banner on their cache pages, and a fair number who carry the card (good for explaining geocaching to LEOs and others). On the other hand, how many cachers were registered in Florida over that period of about 4 years? no clue, no earthly way to know. Many who registered never made post one, or attended any event. Did they read some of the stuff on the website, I guess. In what sense did they "belong"? barely. Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Depends on the area that you cache in. There is several clubs in Illinois. Quote Link to comment
+TexasGringo Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 ***13.2457 %*** I'm that .2457% because I only go when there is food. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I would echo Isonzo Karst's speculation that it is a small percentage. The Alabama Geocachers Association recently surpassed our 5th Birthday with around 1200 members. A good number of those visit and read our DixieCachers.com forums, perhaps 100 post once a month, 50 post weekly and 30 post daily. We get together weekly for lunches and dinners that draw from 10 to 40, and have events regularly that draw 10 to 150, and there's almost always newbies at each but mostly it's the same folks. Still, we are but a small percentage of the cachers in the state - I meet geocachers all the time who have never heard of the AGA and we get new members signing up every week, and I doubt that a third of the geocachers in the state are members. Those of us who are, however, are sure having a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment
+LECTRAGLIDE Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 13.2457 % +- From now on I think I will let Bad_CRC say it for me . He allways posts excactly what I'm thinking or going to say . 2 Thumbs ups Bad _CRC Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 well, we do not have any dues, we have no officers, but we do get together every month. In most cases we have over 100 people show up. RCGDS Quote Link to comment
+The NVG Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 IGO (Iowa Geocachers Organization) has around 660 members. Last Sunday's event, had a little over 50 people there. Central Iowa has a monthly meeting. I would estimate that 80 to 90% of Central Iowa cachers belong to IGO. Quote Link to comment
