I like the idea of info sheets for the cars to be put in the windows at meetings. I'm with Dave that stickers last longer. Nice job to all who attended.
Im not liking the 'official' committee thing at all. Decisions to be made outside of agm/egm should just be put to a vote here in the forum. Committee an titles means a form of power for some people, that's when people start to disagree an fall out. At least now we are all equals, with equal rights an say. I'm happy to continue as we are with Brian holding the funds. The people who want to lead will always step up either ways to get the work done.
What year?
Every year.
t; it's a social, not an AGM.
Steering groups and committee by their very nature denote control by those on them, unless the decision making process is put out for a vote on it to all members.
the main problem about puttin things to a vote by all the members is that fuck all gets agreed on....
great fun having all these polls though, more polls I say...
, more polls I say...
Committee's don't rule the club, they only facilitate what the majority of the club would like to do. There are lots of small decisions that need to be made and having a poll every time is ludicrous! Only larger more important decisions regarding the direction of the club needs to go out to the membership for a vote. If going down the road of a simple basic Committee is what people would like to do then the club needs to form a Constitution. This will set out the basic principles behind how the Committee operates, like simple things on how money is spent, how often committee positions change and what the role of each position entails.
I'm a Committee type person, no need hiding that fact. I have sat and still sit on many Committee's, both at Club and Professional levels and see the benefits of them. But in saying that, I do like at times the way Eircooled is run with it's laid-back attitude. I think there are lots of get up and go people within this club which has prevented it from becoming stagnant to date. At the very least the club should consider a Chairman, Secretary/Treasurer, Events Co-ordinator, even just as a face to the club.
That sounds like fun.
Well, that's you elected as the 'Fun Co-ordinator'............
