AGM - the aftermath !

Gomer,

From reading various threads on here, it seems there have been a few instances of emails going unanswered, and surely there will have been many more that we don't know about. In any organisation such as ours communication is vital to keep members happy and turn prospective members into paid up members [ far too many members in that sentence :shock: ]. However, we always have to remember that the club is staffed by volunteers, who more often than not have a day job which pays the mortgage and hence must take priority. Nevertheless it seems that last year things got a bit strained (largely due to mitigating circumstance - PO box fires, working away). But such problems shouldn't be the burden of one person, which often makes the problems much worse rather than being tackled when small. So communication with your fellow officers is vital to ensure things are working smoothly. When things start running smoothly again there will be less hassle from people like me .

I hope I don't come across as standing on a soap-box, as I am just speaking from personal opinion as I hold a position of responsibility in a voluntary organisation. I do get very frustrated with many ideas I have to make things better, but the limited time I can devote and lack of members willing to get their own finger out. Consequently I often loose sight of doing the really important things that matter.

All the best for your position as Chairman.

Gomer. did you get my PM? Shall i send a carrier pigeon aswell? :lol:

Cheers,

Nige

Sorry Nige - I was doing non X1/9 related stuff and the mag !

Part of my message included...

In the future can you email chairman@x1-9ownersclub cos I have such a small brain, that in order for me to reply to a message I need the incoming message to read whilst I answer the questions - I can't remember the questions!... I can't seem to do that with this PM business!

I didn't think about the Back and Forward buttons in IE...duuuuur....

NIGE HAVE YOU GOT HOLD OF GOMMER YET ?

I have Paul, there might be some information in the next mag that'll hopefully please you!
Shall we have a game of hangman? I'll start you off!

I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ O

I M A S T R A N G E B O Z O ? :twisted:

Heaven help us if Nige gets admin rights on this forum :shock:

Ok, ok, the spaces didn't work as i intended, i thought Paul would appreciate a game of hangman that's all! Anyway, it seems that i've landed myself the job of RO for our lovely TVS region!

To all those down south, myself & Stuart the slaphead are having a "flag & bunting handover" at a pub somewhere between the two of us, probably south Surrey way (just got to name a venue & date, anyone who knows of a good pub this way please shout!), so please feel free to join us when time & venue are confirmed. Oh Chris, you were right, i am a strange Bozo!!!

Cheers,

Nige

NIGE ONLY I CAN DO THE HANGMAN THING :twisted: :twisted: , IT S GREAT NEWS THAT YOU HAVE BECOME THE RO OF TVS NOW IF YOU NEED ANY HELP THE WHOLE OF THE COMMITTEE IS HERE TO HELP YOU, YOU MUST REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT ON YOUR OWN, I CAN`T WAIT TO MEET YOU AT THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING.

NOW THEN ABOUT THIS HANGMAN THING AS YOU WON`T TO PLAY WHY NOT HAVE A GO AT THE IRELAND ONE AND PUT YOUR NAME DOWN TO COME NEXT YEAR.

Apologies for not seeing the e-mails from Nige... I didn't see them, maybe Nige is an address that my spam filter doesn't like... it doesn't like Andy's I found out recently...! I am making a point of viewing my spam these days to find the occasional one that gets popped in there.

Maybe Simon has a less aggressive filter and will see the ones I missed. Apologies again all round.

Rob

No worries Rob, i don't think there was any else who was overly keen to take on the TVS area!! Look forward to meeting everyone in due course, although the committee meetings need to be a tad closer to my neck of the woods, 8 hours in a car on a Sunday is not my idea of fun!!

Chees,

Nige
