Heidenau canceled club mile 2023 - too few participants!

Heidenau, Deutschland - Heidenau has decided to cancel the popular club mile in 2023. Mayor Conny Oertel from the Heidenau Citizens' Initiative announced the message on June 20. The reason for this decision: disappointing few registrations. Only four of the clubs requested from the clubs requested came back, which is simply too little for such an event. This cancellation comes before the summer vacation to give the clubs enough time, to inform their members and possibly prepare for the next events.

One of the main attractions of the club mile had been the presentation of local clubs for eight years, which presented themselves on Ernst-Thälmann-Straße. The event traditionally took place on the school entrance weekend together with the ABC party. Here the clubs could not only shine with their offers, but also win new members. But the last few years have been shaped by challenges. As early as 2022, there were difficulties when only seven groups took part in the event after the centering association was dissolved. In 2024 it was at least twelve, but this number was considered inadequate by the city.

reorientation in sight

In autumn 2025, a club conference is scheduled to discuss a new format for the Heidenau clubs. Here, new ideas and concepts could arise to increase the number of participating clubs in the future. A new edition of the club mile for 2026 will also be on the agenda. The past few years have shown that a conceptual revision is necessary to increase the attractiveness of this event.

While the club mile is on the brink, Heidenau can build on another traditional event. The ABC party for beginners will take place as usual, organized by the fire brigade and the municipal housing company. This celebration offers the new first graders a wonderful opportunity to present themselves in the community and to learn from the already established clubs.

club events in change

The planning and implementation of club events has increased in complexity in recent years. It is more important than ever to clarify the official requirements and insurance cover in advance. In order to increase participation, clubs should also adapt to new trends and technologies. Interactive formats and digital presence are crucial to address a younger audience. The use of social media can not only increase the visibility of the events, but also attract new sponsors and members.

The challenges that the Heidenau club mile have shaped in recent years are not isolated cases. They reflect a trend that many clubs face. The question remains how traditional events can be modernized and revitalized in order to strengthen the community and to actively integrate many fellow citizens.
