Message from President - Presidents Forum 22 OCT

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON THIS POST, OR SEND ME AN EMAIL. THANK YOU!!

A few weeks ago I sent out an email regarding the upcoming President's Forum, which is now definitely taking place on 22 Oct, and which I will be attending. I had a few replies to my last email (see below), and now invite you again to make any comments on below topics.

From below comments you can see that we already have a few points to bring forward:

- Navigation on website not really clear / not straight forward to obtain event information
- Fee standardisation should be considered
- Offering discounts to members, rather than penalties to beginners/newcomers etc
- Pricing of sportident into new membership (this is really a great idea, Rick)
- registration card (access to database with all members info on it to facilitate event entry)
- involvement of younger generation into organisation of events, mapping, course setting etc

Here are some questions which could be addressed, and perhaps you could provide your comment / opinion on this:

- what do you think about having an Events Series Coordinator in our club dealing directly with OANSW re events?
- do you think standardisation of membership fees is a good idea?
- do we require any additional equipment (we have just bought locks for use with sportident at the summer series & sprints)?
- do we have any sportident requirements?
- have you got any comments/feedback re OANSW administration?
- do you have any comments re schools development? Should schools development continue?
- any requirements/needs etc from OANSW?
- any other items you think should be discussed?

I am going to put this information on the blog too, so feel free to comment there too. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers Linda
