The term "succession planning" comes to mind. Yet another task for the committee to worry about.

It is evident that, apart from the obvious physical requirements for a meeting hall (cost, size, parking, etc.) there is also the need for enough relatively local volunteers to organise and run the event.It is unreasonable to expect the same committee members to travel all over. In my 28 years of BVWS membership I don't recall there ever being a general request for event volunteers. Please tell me I'm wrong. There have been one or two requests for help at the various Bring and Buy stalls, but that's it. It goes without saying that members can actively turn up and volunteer, but that isn't quite the same thing and doesn't dig out the less than confident. Maybe now is the time for a members survey to find out who may be prepared to volunteer, how far they would be prepared to travel, etc, etc.
