Speaking at Boorowa's Australia Day celebrations, president Debbie Barclay said she is disappointed the club that has done so much for the community has gone under.

"We've tried many different ways to recruit new members but we haven't been able to get the numbers. With the age restrictions, we're actually losing two members this year," Ms Barclay said.

"A lot of younger people we've asked in the community aren't interested in doing service work or are too busy for it. Our community is aging and unfortunately with work commitments, a lot of people are moving away and it leaves the town with a lack of volunteers. It's not just our club that's suffering, a lot of sporting clubs are too. It is a real worry because in years to come, there won't be enough volunteers to fill the gaps."

Although the club won't be around anymore, its members are still giving back to the community - starting with the club's assets.

Boorowa Central School and St Joseph's Primary School's P&Cs will receive the club's catering trailer, barbecues and tents in order to help them with their fund raising drives.

Rye Park School, Boorowa Preschool and Boorowa Hospital will also receive some funding.

Meanwhile, Boorowa Lions Club will continue Apex's Driver Reviver program and will run the barbecue at the Picnic Races and at the Boorowa Show.

"It is very sad but we know we're leaving the projects we were unable to finish off in good hands," Ms Barclay said.

There is one project the club is keen on retaining though.

"We're determined that we'll keep Apex Citizen of the Year going in recognition of all the hard work the club's former members have put into the community," Ms Barclay said.

"Where there's a need, our members will continue to try and help out."
