Great question TreeFrog and my hat is off to you for doing this! It is exactly what we need to grow this sport!

A couple of recommendations:
1. Don't try to grow too fast. Set your goals for you and the club members, rules and get buy-in with everyone! They are your clients.
2. Always remember to not let the money drive the goals. A good club builds friendships, team work, competition, learning, etc. The monatey, etc. will come when these things are proven.
3. Follow the rules that you make, people will follow good leadership
4. Keep good stats, use them wisely and present them to the potential sponsor
5. The power of three is always true. Three years of good stats, and then the time is to move out to gain the sponsors you need.
6. The power of the press is holy ground. Use it.

Hope this helps buddy
