Zoom Committee

With apologies to Dave Crichton, who distributed this info by e-mail, but was unable to add to the blog, there is a meeting tonight to discuss potential changes and extensions to the Zoom committee following the resignations of Rob and Dave.    Even if you can't make the meeting tonight, please look out for feedback from the session and feel free to respond and get involved. 

Thanks,

Graham

Despite extensive offers of bribes and attempts at blackmail, no amount of persuasion could get Rob Griffiths or Dave Doust to change their mind (see e mail below) and so we are left with the matter of how to fill their very substantial shoes as Secretary and Chairman of our club

In order to continue with the great progress that Zoom tri club has made in he past 2 years, more volunteers are needed, who are willing and available to help make this happen.

So far a number of people have come forward to be involved in potential roles including Paulo, Kathy, Graham and Jean, Ash and doc Dave.

Since Rob’s work has been so extensive, it has been proposed that a number of new roles are developed to take on various aspects of the work he has been doing including

·         Membership officer (responsible, for example, for generating and handling new members)

·         Communications Officer (responsible, for example, for press relations, members email list control, member communications, etc)

·         ‘Brand’ officer (responsible, for example, for sponsorship, logo, kit ‘look’, merchandise, etc.)

·         Head Coach – hopefully Rob will continue with this??

The discussions so far have been informal and it is hoped that as many as want to be involved will offer up themselves as  volunteers, or make their suggestions prior to the proposed meeting mentioned in Robs e mail below; ie before 11^th January.

We are hoping to have a preliminary meeting of those prepared to stand for any volunteer role at Littledown café on Thursday 10^th January about 8pm (after the 6.30pm Littledown run)

Please give this some serious thought. The club belongs to all of us and we all have a responsibility to ensure it’s ongoing success,

If you have even an inkling of interest in being a volunteer, or be volunteered for any of this type of stuff or want to include your views in the discussions, please reply to this e mail or come along on Thursday evening, so that you can be involved in the meeting to consider a way forward for the new vacancies.

If you know of anyone who maybe interested and may not see this e mail, I hope you will try and let them know

Happy New Year

Doc  Dave (on behalf of several other Zoomers)
