A six-month check up

[K3]

The club has been in existence for over 1/2 year.  The membership exceeds 110 members at this point. 

Charter members, new members, everyone.... what are some things that are working for you as value-added from the Club?.  What are some areas that need to be improved?

Here are some questions to start your thinking:

1.  what is the best way to identify to members how to get hatching eggs or chicks from near their locale?

2. what is the best way to welcome a new member and get the information to them that has already been presented to the Club prior to their joining the Club?

3. does the club need more social activity or less? 

seems that more people should be listed in the membership directory.... what are YOUR thoughts?

Yes the membership list is pretty bare considering how many people were requesting for it to be set up. 

 

It seems that Ebay is the place the most people are getting hatching eggs. There are over 60 people that have posted Cream Legbar eggs there in the U.S. and who know how many 100's of people have posted eggs there in the UK.  It might be good to have club members list their club membership in their auctions and for full members to list their ebay name on the membership list.  Personally I would rather go directly to a breeder for eggs rather that have to bid on them.  I have been beat out in the last minute of two different egg auctions which makes setting a hatching schedual a little tricky.  Especially if you want eggs from a certain breeder and they only post eggs sporadicly.

 

Value added?  Did you all read the sencond Quarter Newsletter?  That was possibly the single best publication on Cream Legbar specific information in the history of the breed.  Also, I am fortunate to be in the South Region, because our RD has put some really nice things in our welcome packages.  Specifically the color cards.  You don't feel like you are the out side of the group once you can look up the colors that everyone else is posting. 

 

I would like to see more regional activities though.  Our regions are big and members have to travle a long ways, but the best thing I have done for my flock was to meet others who are working on the breed. If we could run more meet-ups or club table that would be a good opportunity for those who can attend.

I love the contests. I'd like to see more reminders to keep them in my mind, and details in every reminder so that I know exactly what to do and where to send it no matter which reminder I'm looking at. (I am assuming email reminders here.)

If that's too much email for some people, perhaps an "unsubscribe from contest emails" option included at the end of each reminder would be a simple way for people to opt out.

The membership list has been transferred over to the document by states, so there are more members on it now than there were. There was some confusion about which place it was to be posted, but we got that all ironed out & it should be caught up now. Some people who asked to be contacted have not responded back, so if they want their info on the membership list they will need to send me an email.

VERY fabulous feedback - and Trish!  Thanks I just saw the Membership Directory and it looks good.  Thanks for you work on this.!

[K3]

Whoo hoooooo!

Since I was in here to post link to those "culling" articles, I thought that I would visit this.  We DO have a survey -- it will be distributed mid-July.  Hopefully we will get a lot of answers/feedback.  The results will help us chart the course for the future.  --   If you read this and something that NEEDS to be asked of the members comes to mind for you.  Post it here --- and if it isn't already IN the survey we can add.  As a side note...years ago when I was working on my Masters Degree (Human Resources and Organization Development) - I did get some training on how to conduct and use surveys...Yipee.    Thanks for any insights you may wish to contribute.  :O)

I know I sent information to be added to the directory.  I need to check if I was. .I know at one point I hadn't been.  Maybe a new letter to members advising them of the directory and how they can get added.

[K3]

Thank you for information!  We now have a target date of Sept 1st 2015 for a member communication - and I will write an article for Q3 newsletter -- input much appreciated.
