What would Mensa be like...
If it were ten times bigger. Its not impossible, though on the face of it unlikely. In the UK, 24,000 is just 2.4% of the top 2% of the population who could join. There are about a million potential members in the UK alone. 1% of the UK population is roughly 550,000. Imagine what it would be like with 250,000 members. There would still be only 5-10% active members but there'd be more groups- 3 to 4 times as many meetings- much larger weekend attendances. We'd be having to hire the Albert Hall or Earl's Court for AGs!There will be opposition to growth. I bet there was opposition when there were 24 members, 240 and 2,400. But we don't need ten times the staff to service ten times the number of members. So fixed overheads go down leaving more subscriptions to plough into advertising, weekends, extra services etc. We just need to make Mensa more attractive.. To reduce the churn rate and increase the numbers of new joiners. Ideas anyone?
