That's a 25% drop in registrations. You can believe TCA has been looking for ways to reverse that trend (and attendance has picked up a bit but not much in the three shows since - Apr 2016 showed 11,395).
Since the numbers have not improved, can we assume that dropping the two signature rule for membership has been ineffective?
There's a difference between York registrations and overall TCA membership. According to the latest TCA National Headquarters news, membership dropped almost 11% in the 15 months following the dues increase in 2013. It is stated that membership is slowly increasing and is now at 23,354. As has been stated, the York meet is an Eastern Division TCA function controlled by them. The old 2 person rule had nothing to do with the York meet unless you were signing up on site.
