to form a comittee.
As we talk to Bury FC,Forever Bury,the press etc we need to be more organised.
We need at least the following:
A Chairman
A Secretary
A Treasurer
A Fixtures secretary
A Team Manager
We need to do this asap so please propose and second names to suit the positions.
John.
PS This is serious so keep to the above agenda please.

[ChrisMurray]

Chairman- John Raftery
Treasurer-Dave
Fixtures Secretary-CHip
Secretary- John Raftery
team manager- Chris Murray/Jimmy Read

This is my feelings on the matter and these are the best men for the jobs

[Chip]

I think it has to be the way to go. The team needs to move onto a less casual basis. Thanks for the nomination Chris - I'm happy to pitch in and do whatever is needed.

I'd second the votes for John and Dave

I also think Chris Murray did a great job as manager last Saturday until his ego got the better of him and he took to the pitch ;-) The Chris/Jimmy managerial partnership gets my vote

Do we have a timescale John? We have no match this weekend so maybe we have the time to get this sorted and running before the next match at Darlo

[ChrisMurray]

Well Chip you wont be getting the nod as my assistant because it was your idea to let me loose on the pitch and I quote " Are you not going to come on Chris?"
"no Chip"
"Aww you should do!!"

Cheers for that but on a serious note I think its a good move.

[bonarpak]

Is no-one else even bothered about this ?
John

[meatypete1]

John I dont really know what to say, what is involved in each role mentioned above?

I dont want to nominate somebody who I hardly know, aswell as giving them work, they dont want. I dont know who would be interested, I think its something that needs discussing face to face rather than over t'internet.

Ive just read the BT, a good little write up, it might get somepeople thinking now.

[bonarpak]

Pete,
I have been trying to get everyone together to discuss various things since we have started.
The obvious time when everyone is together is on the day that we have a match.
As you will have read before we get a very poor turn out of players in the social club.
I think it needs a comittee but the comittee should not nominate themselves.
John

[Salt and Shaker]

i'd say that the jobs mentioned above should be taken on by those that no what they are doing say experienced

so my judgment is that the jobs should be taken on by people like John Jimmy Dave and Chip

oh and MUzza was great as touch manger

[coolfan04]

i agree with pete. This should be discussed by evrybody. we must get together some time in the club, not jus 5 or 6 but ebverybody that wants to be involved. Other wise it will not work.


wens our next game??? darlo???

mike

[madmark]

Yes! We are playing the IFA team!

[bonarpak]

as I thought this recommendation about a comittee has got precisely nowhere.
I don't know why I bother.
John.

[ChrisMurray]

John thats abit harsh.
I have given my opinion on the subject and people have agreed with it.

Lets discuss it further at Darlington after hopefully another win and we'll see what happens

[Chip]

When you say "people" you are only just right - two or three is only just plural. Out of anywhere between 15 to 20 regular players, that kind of response rate is a little bit feeble.

I agree with Mike, a meeting should be the way forward, but if attendance gets above 10 it will be impressive, which put things not much further on than they are now.

I'm not sure democracy works, and John seems to be getting a bit fed up with the lack of response - I can't blame him.

[ChrisMurray]

yeah i know just thort i wud say that people have agreed with me cos it doesnt usually happen. I reckon after the Darlo game we shud have a meeting in a pub because we need to get it sorted.

I am frustrated too but there would be a good turn out of players who play at home playing away this weekend and so we should be able to get a meeting in

[Chip]

As the nomination process doesn't appear to have worked, how about asking for volunteers - the vast majority of players visit the MB and those that don't have mates that do. John, why not set a date for volunteers to submit their names by? I'd personally say Chairman has to be you. If you get more than one volunteer for any one role, you can either choose one or t'other, or split the duties.

Here's an idea of typically what the roles mean for sports clubs

Chairman - Chairs committee meetings, leads the committee, has overall responsibility for the running of the organisation, acts as "Head". Has the casting vote

Treasurer - has responsibility for finances, maintains the bank account, produces a regular balance sheet to the committee and membership, collects subs/membership fees, raises funds, releases funds for spending

Secretary - organises events and meetings, responsible for drawing up the agenda and minuting any meetings, responsible for communication across the committee and to the membership as a whole

Fixture secretary - manages and arranges team fixtures, produces the fixture schedule, communicates dates, times and venues,

Team Manager - responsible for team selection and matchday arrangements

The committee as a whole - responsible for the direction, principles, policy and running of the organisation

[zero-x]

John has to be chairman, my dad I would say treasurer because he's already done most of that stuff anyway, fixtures secretary Chip as he knows the most about the IFA thing, and team manager Chris and Jimmy. I could do website design and the design for the board if we want, I just need some help for the website ie getting it hosted!

[ChrisMurray]

Well said Neil. Someones bin thinking hard

[ShakerStu]

I would have thought the commitee picks itself.

John has been working it a chairman role, therefore John.
Dave has been dealing with money etc, Dave treasurer.
Chip has been sorting fixtures etc, Chip secretary.
Fixture secretary surely has to be someone who is guaranteed to go to all (or the majority) of games, which puts John forward (although no internet access).
Team manager, Chris is more than happy to.

I previously hadn't been going to the social after games, mainly because I knew I could get away with it. I went last week and will now go every game.
Maybe meeting attendance should co-inside with selection.

[ChrisMurray]

well said but we shall all be getting together after the game on saturday to discuss it so heres to drinking and discussing
