this is particularly true with bowling. Normally, when I meet a good bowler they are not good at anything else...not that there is anything wrong with that but they become hyper competitive about this one thing. People like this are encouraged to not come and join us. We don't actually need any more people and this is why we don't actively recruit. One of our members did a Facebook post inviting just anyone in the general public and that was a one-off since it attracted the worst members of this society and none of them still bowl with us.
