Well, this is all a bit scary! Having now accepted a role within the club as events coordinator it is behest on me to do something positive that shows the club in a good light whilst keeping our members occupied and happy.
Let's be honest - I won't always succeed. In fact, I am bound to make many mistakes along the way, and I'll need your help to tell me where I'm going wrong. Equally, though, where something works well I need to know about that too, as we'll need to make sure we keep doing all the right stuff that makes our site good fun to visit and participate in for all registered WR1OC members.
I'd like to let you know what the plans are. Before I do, there's one very important piece of information to impart:
I am an Events Coordinator. I am not necessarily an Events Organiser. This means that I will do all I can to support agreed events but I will still rely on members to organise and administer any events they wish to see included
Oo-er! Sounds a bit formal, eh? In any case, what does that mean? Well, it means that I take a role amongst us all that acts as a conduit to ensure we have clear communication about what's going to happen, your options as a member concerning events, and act as a single point of contact where there is need for greater information.
So, what are the plans? Well, each part of a wide plan to keep cheesy grins on each member's face requires considerable work and there is much to do, but I do believe in telling people what's being thought. After all, why develop a magical toy for a desire that might not exist? Each of these items will need your thought and input when you have the time.
There is a rough timeline on each, and each will get its own thread in due course so please do not respond here.
Just PM me if you need anything.
1) The WR1OC Events Calendar. This will probably be a labour of love and without doubt the hardest and most time-consuming element being considered. The need for this centres around the desire by members to have a balanced set of events throughout the year that caters for track work, show'n'shine, plus national and international events. The calendar needs to be agreed in advance and is driven (ahem!) by the need to know about great events with more than a couple of weeks notice so you can plan your own time effectively. The first step will be to work towards a calendar for 2008 and I'll need your help making it realistic and committed-to.
2) The WR1OC Events Fund A radical idea that acts a savings scheme for events. Details to follow soon.
3)The WR1OC Weekend Break An internet site is great, but true friendship comes from the meeting of like-minded people enjoying themselves and forgetting the normal stresses of their everyday lives. These will not be tyre-kicking, horsepower-challenging exercises. Instead, they should be designed to package human time together with the WR1's as a central bonus.
I'll keep you up to date on each element as we move forwards.
