- 10. Is there a Downside? Bowling Alone: Declining Social Capital. Robert Putnam Putnam suggests that when activities which deliver a shared sense of identity, like communal bowling, or team sports are allowed to fade into inconsequence or oblivion, they are replaced only with individualistic pursuits. It is not just the local area that suffers: it is as if the national spirit takes a hit.

Editor's Notes
- There is a growing trend amongst government agencies and peak bodies to focus on spectator satisfaction and not on the participant. When we celebrate 55,000 people attending a football game we focus exclusively on the spectator, whose involvement is one of voyeurist and not of participant at the same time forgetting that there is only 26 people actually participating. This presentation, in its brief form, will attempt to draw our attention back to where it belongs, and in the process help focus us on what the next generations may want from their outdoor recreational experience.
