Committee Musings ‘Mar 24

Role of Secretary

Your committee continues to review the way in which it operates, particularly in respect of trying to work out which tasks need to remain with the committee, and which can be delegated.

We need to ensure that we have a good match of skills to match with the roles being vacated and in relation to this your committee is looking for someone to take on the role of Secretary.

This role is not arduous but includes attending the monthly committee meetings and taking minutes. The process of minute-taking has largely been templated to lighten the load on the person in this role.

Hall setup

We also continue to be delighted and thankful of everyone’s help with set-up of the hall for our gatherings, and then the pack down at the end of the evening.

Please remember: We can’t arrive to do the setting up activities any earlier than 7:30 pm as we may interrupt the cleaner(s) schedule, who have the hall until that time.

Upcoming events

April – Gold Medal Wines from the New Zealand International Wine Show, hosted by Michelle Fraser (Clearview Wines and Wine Judge). This tasting includes a number of trophy wines and so is a best of the best tasting, not to be missed.

AGM – Checkout AGM posts.

Committee Musings, Aug ’23

SGM

Reminder: At the August Monthly Meeting, for the first 10 minutes, we will hold an SGM to discuss and pass some small changes to the Club’s Constitution. Please ensure you are up to date with the contents of an earlier email sent on 21 July in relation to these changes.

Evening support

It was great to have everyone help with the tables and chairs at previous meetings and take the same down at the end. Also, take the spittoons/water jugs/cracker plates back to the kitchen. Could we please continue this new routine?

PLEASE NOTE: We can’t arrive to do the setting up activities any earlier than 7:30 pm as we interrupt the cleaner(s) schedule; the cleaners are in the hall until 7:30 pm.

Looking Ahead

  • September – Clearview, Hawkes Bay
  • October – Maison Vauron, Auckland
  • November – Bubbles Evening, tbc
