Zoom Committee Update

Dear all,

With regard to my e-mail of December 5^th, Friday 11^th January was the day identified for Individuals to be nominated for the vacant roles of Chairman and Secretary. In the intervening weeks over the Christmas and New Year period numerous discussions have taken place to establish the best way forward for the stewardship of the club.

In order to ease the administrative burden and widen the input of ideas into the club a proposal has developed to establish 4 further committee role as well as those already established.(Currently those are Chairman -vacant, Secretary-vacant, Treasurer-Julie Pike, Welfare Officer-Janine Jones, Webmaster-Mike McCarthy, Running Events Coordinator-Andy Downton, Running Coach – Tim Fairbrother)

The proposed new roles are:

Membership officer, responsible, for the development of the membership base and managing the welcome of new members to the club.

Communications Officer responsible, Communications to the membership, press relations, members email list control and to work with the webmaster on information flow through the club,

Brand Officer responsible, for sponsorship generation, Club kit, Club merchandise, the general brand image of the club.

Head Coach responsible for coordinating and developing the coaching and training sessions for the club. The development of coaching and coaches within the club.

Elsewhere on the blog will find job descriptions for the role of Head Coach and rewritten ones for the Chairman and Secretary positions, new job descriptions will be available for the other roles over the next couple of days and I will distribute them when they are available. If you are interested in undertaking any of these roles, please let me know by e-mail with a proposer and seconder by Sunday 27^th January 2008.

On Tuesday 29^th January we will be holding an Extraordinary General Meeting (at the Queens Park Golf Club at 8pm).The introduction of the new roles to the committee requires a change to the club constitution and therefore as the outgoing Chairman, I will ask the membership to take a  vote on the introduction of the new roles to the committee. After which and subject to the acceptance of the new roles by the membership, we then have the task of voting to agree who will undertake these new roles. Please note to be eligible for nomination or to vote on nomination you must be a current member of the club.

I am confident that this new proposed committee structure will enable the club to take the next step forward in its development and I hope that you will support its introduction. Zoom has made great strides over the past 2 years and I am sure we all want to see that continue.

I look forward to receiving your nominations and seeing you at the EGM on Tuesday 29^th.

Kindest regards

Rob
