We have changed our meeting to guest speakers with 5 mins of club/commitee business. Commitee is there to sort the day to day club stuff the members don't want to know about rates and power bills. We have picked up a LOT of new members through Hunts courses range shooting and interesting speckers and a bloody good newsletter. We also try to do a hunt every month.

    It's the not what you get from a club it's what you put into it......

    Ps: Gong shoot tomorrow
    Napier branch have tried to speed up the blah blah at General meetings ( I'm the lucky secretary for last 3 years) and I to found too much debates on general meetings nights so we've made people aware committee nights are open for all and to table stuff then, on average meetings go for 15mins, we read the last minutes then open the floor for matters arising etc, run it as basic as can be really. Members do need to know about important info that relates to them but majority is done on committee nights.

    Last few meetings were good with guest speakers, Charlie janes and Dave sharpe, one before that at hunting and fishing Napier with the tatonka rep.

    As above you get out what you put in,

    I'll be touching base with Hastings to see how they do there meetings, if ours can be improved at. 15mins then a guest speaker seems ok, guys prob spend 15mins at a red light in Auckland traffic.

    Interesting thread this one
