Earlier quoted context omitted.
With GPS its not so much the location but thr change in time commitment. The new location is never 5 min from the preious but 30-45 min difference. People in these groups often have busy lives so if your 3hrs suddenly becomes 4hrs its simply less of a headache to cut the unnecessary thing rather than change 50 other things in your schedule. Eventually this scheduking effect shakes off all thr people in the group with…
Yeah. I've become quite selective with respect to evening events where I need to drive 45-60 minutes to attend.
"Good News! We finally have a permanent location!!!!"
Then it turns out to be 45min in one compass direction outside of the city. Meaning the location will be 2+ hr drive one way for the 75%'ish of the members that don't live on that side of the city. Essentially killing the group on announcement. I've seen this happen several times.
I do get that running a group is hard, I've done it. Its just that at that point you may as well just throw in the towel.
Also for some reason its always a run down church or VFW location when this happens.
