Due to last minute speaker cancellation we had an impromtu club assembly which everyone actually enjoyed! In summary
- New members sometimes feel a little bewildered and unsure and would like to see a more comprehensive introduction package to our club eg a resume of club projects past and present. What we do and stand for in the community. More hands on projects.
- The community at large doesnt really know what we do and stand for. Suggested we should have more articles in local news about the many grants we allocate, projects we work on, PHF awards and what it actually means.
- A request from Jim that we investigate with the appropriate authorities the possibility of extra warning light system for our pedestrian crossings. He (and others) have witnessed a number of near miss car v pedestrian incidents.
To address the above I would like to
- introduce a time slot in the meeting agenda perhaps labelled 'projects past and present' allocated to various senior members
- ask for a club member to take on a pr role and put regular articles in the genesis
- ask Secretary Kerry to write to CDC (or NZTA) re crossings and early warning lights.
Thanks to everyone for your contribution.
