Speaking personally, I try to help out when I can, but there are times when I cant. Lets look at NE regionals in Shields, I try to do as much as possible, and have done for years.
However, on the Friday prior to the event, which I usually take off work, I could not do this year, as I had a presentation to do at work.
I am grateful for those that grafted on Friday, and Im sure they understand that sometimes, its not possible for me to work on the track.
For those who dont help out, Im sure its more of a communication issue, than them not being aware what is required of them as members.
Work partys need to be communicated to, and expectations made clear. Our regional meeting was not mentioned once in a club announcement.... I have had success in previous years by drafting a newsletter prior to a regional, and handing it out at club meetings.
