Continuation of Club Forum from 29th March
Two issues to resolve for the club going forward:
1.0 Meeting Format
On the table for discussion was whether the club should have only one speaker evening night and the second meeting be used for club discussion on issues such as projects etc. It was felt that there was a need for more feedback on this issue before a final vote.
Sally pointed out that for the year ahead based on numbers of meetings the club is likely to have, there would be a maximum of 18 Speakers nights, 10 social nights and 4 Forums.
From the discussion that ensued it was felt that tighter control of meetings would still allow discussion on club matters even on speaker nights. Anything controversial should be carried over to another meeting if required, President to decide.
Comments were made that some members would leave the club if the number of speaker nights were reduced even further.
A motion was put that we retain the number of speaker nights as per the status quo; David Brownson/Sally Morch
Carried unanimously
2.0 Formation of Committees
Discussion centred around lack of membership numbers to set up committees as suggested in the paper presented at the Club Forum meeting.
It was agreed that ideally we should have committees in accordance with suggestions by RI but thats not practical at present.
The continuation of separate committees such as the golf committee for specific projects is still seen as more relevant now.
