The hobby is dying …

It interesting sitting across multiple hobbies / interests and seeing the parallels and difference. In this case dog showing and railway modelling. Both have their fair share of deep thinkers

Mike at OST Publications, one of the model railroaders who seems to look at things in a different light, just blogged this:

The hobby is dying and no one cares anymore. It’s a crisis and we need to act NOW!
Say this often enough and it will become your reality.
The hobby is thriving and the opportunities are unlimited.
Repeat this enough times and you will begin to see those opportunities and maybe even act on one.
Your reality, your choice.

Sorry Mike, you had already boiled that post down to the absolute essence of the matter, there’s no room to just skim a morsel out of it!

Could this possibly apply to dog showing? Of course it can, we hear enough of the crisis mode not too much of the “opportunities” mode. We were helped and encouraged into the community and hope that we can do the same.
