A growing County

Today I collected the Census data from Joyce, our Registration Secretary. I haven't gone through it in great detail but overall we are up 1%. 2/3 of Divisions have grown - the biggest growth being 10% in River Ash. The remainder have declined with the biggest fall being 10%. Interestingly both Woking divisions fell which makes me wonder if there is a wider demographic change there. Leader numbers have remained fairly steady but we have a few more units than last year. Joining lists have fluctuated and we still have a big demand for Rainbow places where the girls are already old enough.
We probably need to do some work to work out what is happening - is it something about the locality, the leaders, the commissioner, PR.......it would be great to discover the reasons before the Recruitment training on Saturday but I expect that is optimistic.
