CHANGE AHEAD?
 
Following the recent members’ survey, last Tuesday we looked at the timing and venues for our club meetings
President Dave pointed out that although we have about 60 members, in terms of attendance, the turnout is something like:  8 rarely, 11 barely, 9 somewhat, 6 unavailable, 5 silent.  Leaving a likely attendance of about 21, which turned out to be our numbers for the day.
We discussed why we come to our meetings, focussing on such matters as
  • Friendship/community involvement/ fellowship
  • Business networking - speakers
  • Leadership and personal development
Then we provided feedback for the Board on:
  • Timing: an occasional early morning meeting?
  • Place: centred on Newmarket?  more numbers needed for evening meetings at the RGC
  • Frequency:  two lunchtimes and one evening meeting per month?
  • Preference for catered meals?
So watch this space!
