Michel Talon writes
How do you explain otherwise that a lot of people with their exam and
hundred of hours post exam leave the sport? In fact most of the people
who have taken the exam leave after a couple of years since the number
of members is not steadily increasing in clubs, while they regularly
graduate a constant flux of newcomers. At least this is what i see here.

The phenomena of "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, move onto the
next mountain" perhaps? In anything there have to be natural attrition
points where something that was once a thrill and a pleasure to
participate in when fresh becomes dull and commonplace with repetition
and familiarity.
