ISTM (as an ex-member) that there is little point in standing for election 
for an organisation who (appear to do) very little.

In fact, the answer as to why there is a lack of willing volunteers to stand 
for election, is probably the same one as the reason why there is a lack of 
people willing to join the organisation.

Inward looking, backward looking people in their autumn years who would like 
everything to be the way it was 50 years ago. 'Snot a good recipe for the 
future.
