Soaring's decline SSA club poll

In the result's from the SSA club poll fourty seven percent of
responding club's said they did not want large numbers of new
members. Maybe the word "large" caused clubs who would want some
new members to answer in the negative. Maybe this indicates that
there is no more room in half of the responding clubs because
soaring really is popular and there are enough participants to keep
these clubs equipment utilized to the maximum. In this case there
should be enough demand for new clubs to form. But perhaps it's
true that at half of the soaring clubs in America they just don't
want any more members. If so, that is very sad and probably at the
root of the decline in soaring participants. I am wondering how
others interpret these poll results?
