Next meeting

[Dr Andrew Miller]

Hi All

I am not sure if my last email got through as I have had no replies. I apologise if you get this twice but I am becoming concerned. I will not be able to attend the next meeting so I need some-one to step up to take the minutes and prepare them for the following meeting.

 

I am disappointed that this meeting has been shoved around so much and suggest that we need to be a bit more disciplined regarding scheduling.

 

There are a number of critical issues that need resolution as soon as possible; particularly regarding expenditure plans. We must acknowledge that Paul has been extraordinarily successful in raising sponsors’ money; but also that this represents a real reputational risk to our group and, by association, the school unless we can come up with credible spending plans or projects in the short term. I think it would be unacceptable (and I am concerned that some sponsors may agree) to end the season with our coffers stuffed and no plans to spend. It is also important that we establish a set of strategic goals regarding more long term projects before the end of the season.

 

The suggestion box email that I circulated with the minutes (and which Kev has previously circulated) needs to be considered NOW and some decisions made. It seems to me that there are some obviously worthy projects amongst the suggestions. There are others that we have previously considered and rejected (not to say that we should automatically continue to follow precedent).

 

I am not happy that the freewheeling exchange of emails necessarily works for important decisions such as these. If decisions cannot be reached then we could set up a poll (using on-line survey services) to register votes; but to my mind nothing beats a frank face to face discussion of pros and cons when it comes to efficient and effective decision making.

 

In my absence I would be grateful if someone could run through that list (which I had intended to be the material of my report) and if the group could start ruling some out and actioning others.

 

The reason for the urgency is simple…the school holidays are approaching and although there may not be much snow to speak of it is likely that many will be away and so from a practical viewpoint the next meeting could be almost 2 months away. And that could well be the last meeting before the end of the season.

 

Regards

 

Andrew

Hi Everyone,

 

After a flurry of emails that revealed that the attendance would be extremely low last Wed it was suggested by me to move to this week.

 

I also wish to see some movement and decisions made.

 

Can I suggest we do a roll call and those attending tomorrow night please advise so?

 

And maybe those that can’t should nominate a Proxy? This way we could get some clear outcomes and those who cannot make it could at least now that they have contributed vote wise…

 

We have our suggestion ist on the site (currently excludes the latest version of Connor Barretts equipment list).

Thoughts?

Hi all.

I agree that we can't wait 2 months plus to have decisions made.

Can someone qualify the decision making process? It seems that even when there's an apparent majority, things get vetoed and subsequently nothing progresses.

I will still try to make at least the second half of the meeting, but in case I'm unable to, my opinion is that we give full funding to Connor Barrett for the additional training equipment. Also the scrum machine needs to happen for the junior school. I cant believe this hasn't happened already! Last year we all agreed that there was a significant deficit in what funding was allocated to the JS. Discussions of camps etc were had and there was an amount agreed on (equal to the Senior Gym equipment) that was to be put aside. Surely this is enough for a scrum machine?

My belief is that the Rugby Association should where ever it can enhance Rugby at CGS. This doesn't mean funding areas that the school already covers (ie Strapping). 

As the catering manager, Judy should not need to ask for amounts under $150. She has been entrusted with the position and should be allowed to perform her role as she sees fit. Where is her Debit Card?? She shouldn't have to be out of pocket, she's a volunteer.

If she needs/wants an Urn/broom/knife etc that us HER decision within HER position. If you don't like it, don't vote for her. I personally think its amazing she still gives so much time and energy to the school community.

Through Kev, Paul, Norm and others we have been very lucky to secure some fantastic sponsorship this year. I'm certain they would like to see this put to good use.....especially if its to continue. 

There will most likely be an international tour next year, so I think planning a fundraiser for it now should also be discussed.

See you soon.

In regards to Greg's point below....

Surely all association members (All CGS Rugby parents) have equal votes in the association.

It is not only the appointed positions of President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer who decide things.....

Dear all,

 

We already have a scrum sled in the JS and do not require another one.

Hi All,

Judy Turbayne has a debit card.

I have assisted her with purchasing stock for the van since 2012.

I sourced an urn for Judy from school sources and it was available for use last rugby match.

Hello everybody

 

I will be attending tonight but can I get some clarification on where the meeting is to be held? As I am only new to the school I would appreciate the assistance of someone in guiding me to where exactly it is that I need to get to.

 

Thank you in advance for the assistance.

 

 

Regards

Chris
