Making Clubs Work by Brad Parkes

Making Clubs Work by Brad Parkes

This book contains tried and tested strategies and approaches which, when applied, will help any membership organisation to flourish. It is written using a threefold approach - through the story of a young man, his boss and a cafe; through case studies and real-life examples; and through suggestions, hints and tips.

'An interesting and insightful read'

-- Cait Allen – Chief Executive, Round Table

'For me, Brad is truly world-class in the field of recruitment and retention of members in membership organisations, and this book sets out everything that anyone associated with any club at any level would need to know. This book is the gold standard that others will be compared to – its the mark of a champion. Dive in and enjoy the read.'

-- Leon Taylor – British Olympic silver medallist in diving, author and professional speaker

'This book is written in a style that makes it easy to read, and being centred on a main story made up of a number of anecdotes, stories and metaphors that allows the reader to explore their own reality and how the principles can be employed in their clubs or teams makes this a uniquely simple yet very effective volume.'

-- Dame Mary Perkins – Founder Specsavers Optical Group
