Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 10:20 am Post subject: If there was no club?
Prompted by a comment on another thread I got to wondering not so much what the club 'does' but more what would not be there if it didn't exist.
In no particular order.

Makes you wonder just how those on the committee have time to organize all that with very little help from the members And, in a few cases, not a lot of help from some members of the committee. _________________ Jan

That's quite a selection! Not everyone takes advantage of them all. I take part in, run or help run, or access these; I can't do the others due to distance.

Maybe if the committee were a bit more open with the membership and invited them to become involved in organising activities we would have more help and an even longer list to peruse. True, many may not want to be involved, but the opportunity should IMHO be offered. _________________ My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
