David, welcome to our forum.
I have a few questions:
- Are you renting the warehouse?
- How many members are already in the club, and how strong are slot cars in your area?
- Do your local hobby shops know about your club? Do the shops have a track available for rental?
The reason I ask about the warehouse is the cost involved. Our track is hosted by a local hobby shop (free), and we could not have had it any other way.
I believe the best way to recruit new members is by making a flyer and have it available at your local hobby shops. A website will help promote your club immensely — you found us (it seems to be working). We have tried (once) to go to a modelers show with a portable track, unfortunately, the parents would drop the kids at our table and go do something else, we ended-up working non-stop and not a single new members came out of it.
Ary.
