I've seen a similar pattern with board game groups. At 50+, maybe the community is large enough to be self-sustaining, but for smaller groups, a random dip below average can snowball.
Obviously there's a broad spectrum of reasons for no-shows but I wonder if there's a way to solicit information on causes.
