I agree with Terry about folks that stand around while others set up.
(Some people are just bone idle and you cant do anything about that.) Mainly its not quite feeling part of the club and that maybe handling the clubs equipment, as it were, would in some way be taking a liberty.
Its quite simple. Be friendly and ask a random onlooker to help do this or that. soon they will get the idea that its ok to handle the equipment and hopefully they will feel better for making a contribution.
I think positive encouragement is the best way.
