In the most recent newsletter John Wutts has put forward an idea to change the Exec and Committee structure required to make decisions though the year and I've also heard murmurings about changes to constitutional rules and the like. I have no problem with any of this stuff - it's called progress - but the Exec team need to deal with it and deal with it within the current rules of the Register. Otherwise - you do tend to get ambushed at AGMs.
I have read John's comments and he has valid points. It has been difficult to achieve any sort of continuity due to the fact that President and the Secretary are currently being replaced at the same time. I believe what we currently have is a lack of communication. If members or areas have an issue they should contact the executive in order to have it sorted. Perhaps we need to set up a survey for all areas to fill in and send to the executive, on paper of course. My expectations of the Register aren't very demanding. I enjoy going on the Register rides and attending Register events. I enjoy the newsletter when it arrives and look forward to the ride reports. I am not too concerned about the financial side of the Register. I am happy to pay $45 a year. The running of the club should be made a easy as possible for the executive and if that mean spending a bit more money, so be it. I've had to pick up and return the key for the club rooms at every monthly meeting. That was an hour just driving around. The Register only works with volunteers. As far as I can tell nobody is taking advantage of the system and is gaining any personal benefits. None of the people I know are short of riding buddies, that's why I am concerned that if people are too demanding at short notice it will put off any potential volunteers. Life is hard enough during the week without having to deal with conflict in my personal time.
