	The British Association of Barbershop Singers, BABS, is a charitable organisation with music education as its goal. Registered Charity Number: 1080930

Retention - It happens every week We are looking for input from choruses that are most successful in maintaining their membership. All choruses will lose members for a variety of reasons but no chorus should lose them for reasons that are within their control. If your members take home with them a smile, a sense of achievement and a thirst for next week, you must be doing something right. We want to hear about it. If you are actively involved in club membership, use the Membership Management Forum on the Bulletin Board to tell the rest of us. If you are just a member with ideas, use the Open Forum on the Bulletin Board. The Forum is monitored and the best ideas will be collated and produced as dedicated pages on this site. Keeping your members ought to be easy. Just give them a sense of achievement. The work of a project team and some regional workshops involving 25 clubs has produced some ideas on Best practice for retention. Retention Process - Best Practice  is a four page document, available to download as a PDF file. BABS has published a document called Getting It Right - Managing The Club . It contains a huge amount of useful information including job descriptions, the BABS registration process, a model constitution and a club 'operating manual' with lots of useful day to day tips for management and music teams.
