At least we now know where we are and can plan accordingly. I wish Mike well in future, and I can see that membership secretary is one of the hardest jobs in an organization as big as the AWGB, especially as we depend on a volunteer.
I can see some sense in the idea that we pay for the insurance and get the money back. This way the AWGB know that a prticular club still exists and they are not paying for insurance which is not needed. Makes more work for the treasurer, hopefully the treasurer can cope with the extra work.
John and myself have just paid tribute to the volunteers in the AWGB officers and trustees, the average time in office for a Membership Secretary seems to be about two years. Are we near the point where we should be paying someone as membership secretary? Another quid on the membership fees should cover a partimer.
