What can a chess club offer?

At least up here in the north, chess clubs are bleeding members every year. Most of the lost players keep playing on the net, but don't seem to want or need a club.

So, I was just wondering what more a club can do to appeal to adult players who may feel they've already peaked?

Arranging tournaments, training sessions, watching online events at the club and playing a lot of blitz are the main points at the moment.

It would be interesting to see other ideas, like new tournament formats etc etc that have worked in other places for retaining more players from this group. 

Is there anything more a chess club can reasonably offer to win back onliners?
