EGM to amend the constitution (Mon 27 Feb)
kmck:
Just one statement, why are we keeping an eight person committee, in fairness it makes meetings difficult and two positions in particular, NML and PRO, I view these functions are covered by all the committee. This is not to say that there have been some very fine people in these postions but their jobs should be done by all the committee. I will read this more carefully before I make anymore comments.

--- Quote from: "Mr C" ---
- Section 4.10: I think that this section needs to be changed and expanded. It should state that all club canoeing events are required to be run in accordance with the Code of Practice. This then requires adoption of the Code of Practice for future years. Further, changes to the Code of Practice should be made by a nominated committee of (say) 5 people of at least 1 Level 4 and 2 Level 3 instructors; the remaining members are at the descretion of the committee. Something along those lines anyway.

This kind of thing should not be in the constitution as it is inflexible and could lead to issues of liability in the event of an accident.

I don't know if this is really an issue that needs to included in the constitution but it is something i think needs a little bit of clarification.
I think it needs to be a little bit clearer exactly who pays for club trips and what they pay.
For example if you are using club gear but going in a private car, do you pay a full tenner for the trip? And if so do you have to pay petrol money on top of this to your driver?
Using a bit of an example Maria who started paddling this year has her own car but is reliant on club boats and rescue.. She was never charged for club trips until last saturday when she was. Now she doesn't mind at all paying the money and infact feels she should have been paying more before now as she was using the club gear but the point is there is no standard to go by.
Also (and I don't know if this is happening this year) from my experience people can come, throw all their gear on the club trailer, or use some club gear and then get in a private car. Then since they aren't on the bus they may end up not paying anything to the club who have to pay for the bus and instructors.
Now I'm really not trying to stir a huge arguement and I know a lot of people this year have taken up the €50 all trips till year end offer so its probably not even an issue till next year. But as more and more freshers get cars but not roofracks the issue of using club gear and trailer space but not actually going on the bus will become more relevant.
I think everyone would benefit from a clear policy on this.
I would propose something along the lines of...
Everyone who uses ANY club gear (including putting their private boat on the club trailer) pays half fees to the club. This leaves the other half free for petrol money to private drivers on longer trips. The drivers can then take club boats if needed. This means everyone will end up paying the same amount and by my reckoning the club will take it the same if not more for Saturday trips, which seems fairer all round :D :D
wow, think this is the longest post i've ever made! (apologys if you all think its too long and a bullshit issue) i just got to thinking about it when maria mentioned only being charged for the first time yesterday and think it is worth having a clear policy on charging for trips.
