Very familiar lament heard in various clubs I've been associated with in other fields over the years. It only takes a few dedicated souls to organize everything, but invariably it falls to a declining number of club elders, usually founding members who have years of hard work invested. FWIW, the lesson I learned is that you have to drop the ball before anyone will pick it up. I've had to resign from several committees to force my own replacement. I've even seen clubs fold completely and then new blood appears later to start them up again. It's also worth looking outside the club - there are people who enjoy organizing things without necessarily being involved in the activity. Often they do a much better job for that reason! Anyway best of luck with OMVA and I hope you survive in the long run.
