Many of you have said, what a good job the secratery & chairman do in a club,

What responseible job is it of  the Presidnt.???

I know the RPRA has a booklet on how to run a club.  

It has the Secratery & Chairmans dutys, But nothing on the Presidents job!!!

Any ideas????

As a secretary of close on 30 years now I disagree that the job should be broken down,I find it far easier if I am doing the secs job,treasurers job,ring sec etc etc etc,then I now that these jobs have been done and I dont have to go chasing other people about if something goes wrong.

your quite right tony and what a good job you do   :) i'll get you some chocs for xmas, if i get my diploma before pete lol  ;D ;D

I think chairman/president are much the same job are they not?

[frank-123]

the secetary does all the work in my club the president does nothing infact i don't even know who the president is ;D

pres only steps in if dispute cannot be settled by chair otherwise he need not excist

[ALF]

 

Looks like they both mean the same thing they preside over a meeting so not sure why you even need a president

 

i wish our club did'nt need 1 Rose as i have been paying money into the bank paying leccy bills and sending out minutes of the AGM as our secretary had to give the job up as her father is not keeping well but we'll soldier on as i'll get through it ;) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Its worth the work if the clubs members appreciate what you are doing

 

I hope so but i doubt it Rose :-/ but i'll still do it anyway as thats just the kind of person i am 8) 8) 8) 8)

BANG ON! Strapper, leave them too it, enjoy your pigeon flying and should they come a beggin tell them if they want you to carry on the job for the next season, the secretary salary will no longer be paid out of club funds, it shall be paid out of members own pockets which will be set at £50 per member plus additional fees. The club funds can then be allocated to prize monies for the Averages winners, best novice performances etc. Its gone on too long for us Secretaries the abuse ends here, if you want the job doing you pay us properly now for our time.Once you hit them hard in their pockets you'll find the abuse stops at once. Its because the startegy for appointing a secretary was they were expected to accept a low honorium and we was made to think the members were doing the new elected secretary a good turn,We now live in the 21st Century and the times have changed the secretaries dictate the price of doing the job.... After all its a 365 day job on call 24hrs a day, now divide that figure into what you club members pay your own secretary and ask yourself......................would I be prepared to do the job for that little pay, as a point of law, your all guilty of breaking it as what  salary you pay your club secretary is way below the minimum wage (no days off,no maternity pay, sick pay, holidays) now come on lads I bet your throwing yourselves at being appointed  WELL PUT UP AND SHUT UP THEN !............................RR

 

Well I thought that the club funds came out of the members pockets. and the usual eh!

 

We had a meeting, like most years when funds were tight, and if didn't improve the club would have to fold... Nowt happened so an extroadary meeting was called and motions put into place. So if the new measures were put into place, with things like All birds trained for 25p. thgen just petrol costs took out, the rest went into the coffers for example - which happened, with one or two other things done.

What was the main thing that kept popping up, and even put forward for the AGM...

You've guessed it 'With this extra money we should pay bigger prize money, and Averages etc. Not a nary about the free time and effert and cost the likes of Russel did transporting the birds for training. Nothing about the fact the transport guy let payments be halved.

Not a jot that the Secretary put his wages back into the club, and what I'd done etc. etc JUST to make ends meet. No We have paid more, we want it all back with interest!

This season the Training is being thrown out the window! Why? Well not only because he never even got a thank you, but moans about ythis that and the other.

The guy that gave up his time clocking in to take the birds, like me sometimes, are no longer interested in giving up our enjoyment for thankless selfish geezers etc. etc.

Never mind more back, if any extra, saved it shouold be put into the bank for rainy days and more expenses to come next season.

Did raise enough to buy two second hand transporters... said I believe that we ought to do another fund - raiser or two, to consolidate the bank account. Voted out as not needed... two seasons later.....

Need I go on!

I think the most important thing for these people who hold offices (that nobody else wants) is that they are fully supported by all the membership, after all, it was they that put them there in the 1st place.

 

Thankless task isn't as bad when the membership are behind you; think it's the constant drip of criticism inside & outside the club that really gets these folk down, and others present while it's going on. Folk don't seem to know when they are well off!

Yip. I think that last post sums it up.
