Events Organiser Required

Unfortunately StuTHC is stepping down:(

First i would like to thank him publicly for his hard work for the last two year within the club as our events organiser. :agree:

Stu is still going to be a committee in a similar role to what penfold does. But he felt he could not give the events position the time it deserves.

So we are looking for volunteers for the role, If you are interested can you please state in this thread or if you would prefer you could pm me personally. Could you state what you think you can do to help the club/state your qualities etc

The role as stated in the committee page.....

Club Events
The Club Events member is responsible for organising club representation at shows and events. This includes contacting venues, reporting information to the committee and club, booking and allocation of tickets based on member interest, promoting the event and care of the club displays and marquee. They are the point of contact for any member at or travelling to a club event. They will arrange club events such as 1/4 mile and rolling road days, assist with trackday and National Day organisation and work with Area Reps to promote local meets and events.

Some attributes that would make you good for the job:

• Must be able to commit one hour a day to the boards.
• Be able to call venues to book club space.
• Be organised and be able to forward plan.
• Organising events that you will not be at or possibly like.
• Be able to take criticism

We need to get this wrapped up pretty quick as time is pushing on and event are approaching. Also do not think that you will get pushed into the deep end as Stuart will be giving a hand over and i am always here to assist in anything you might have problems with.

Regards

Chris:)

I'll give it a crack of the whip... if i can get the backing of others :) id like to get stuck in and move forward with a role thats been done very well so far :)

A big round of applause for Stu THC for all his efforts as events organiser :agree: :cool: Top bloke

Thanks. :agree:

Also to echo what Ricardo has said, a big thanks for all the hard work Stu.
We can only hope the new person, whoever they are, can step into the role & do it as smoothly as you.

Oi you cheeky monkey... i work hard! for a gas man:laugh:

Well done Stu.

John gets a vote from me.

If he takes it on I'm sure he'll be running a book on how many members will turn up vs how many members said they'd go. Give me some odds and SHOW ME THE MONEY! :laugh:

I would like to thank all the people that have put their name forward so far, in this thread and by pm. I am going to keep this open until Wednesday to give everyone a chance to see it and reply/pm

I was expecting a bit more volunteers especially with all the thing mentioned in the "shake up thread"

Regards
Chris :)

Is it only me or does everyone like it when you receive an email from rtoc :smokin:

:laugh:, you aint at most of the events.....;), still if you organise them then i guess its all good.....:wasntme:, i would love to take on more of a role but being my own boss and doing all the climbing in my job etc and sorting my fleet , i feel i will not have the time, i would advise all to seriously consider this too...best wishes stu, gotta agree with all the others bud , a blinding job done, youll be a tough act to follow....:)

Just wanna say cheers to all the well wishers on this thread. IM glad that some of you think the events over the past 2 and a bit years have been okay, sorry for not doing more or arranging some of events people asked for but you cant please everyone.
Ill still be around and at most events so unfortunatly you still have to look at my ugly mug. I just feel that i dont have the passion for doing the role anymore (besides, some of you wanted a 'shakeup') its not a difficult role, but you do need at least 1 or 2 hours a day to do a good job of it.
I personnally feel that the events are the main part of RTOC, it needs someone with plenty of enthusiasm and fairly thick skin to be able to do it.
Good luck to whoever gets it, and if you ever need any help ill be more than happy to assist :)

Cheers for all that you done Stu. Top job mate :agree:

Funny you should mention the 'shake up' thing, as I half expected Big Steve to stand for the new E.O role given his passion for events & attending them, plus having a good reference with the RWS Germany weekend he organised last year.

I agree Mart, Steve would be perfect for the role and i said as much on the CM boards when i posted about stepping down. But if he aint got the time then there is no point. The role needs someone who can commit a lot of effort to it- its only fair to the paying members.

Ahh, my bad, I didn't know he had already excluded himself from the job due to lack of spare time.

Are JRP & Spooky the only ones to have put their names forward?

No there are a few others, tbh ive not been online since this thread was posted, just catching up on the CM boards etc now.......

Just to be clear, im not aware that Steve has defo ruled himself out- my comments come from my suprise that he is yet to put his name forward for the role directly- i hope he does though :)

The name's down & if i get the Job you're not coming in with those trainers on! :D

:laugh: :crap:

So you have applied for the job then? Good man :agree: :cool:

Juggling my time around has been pretty difficult in the last few years, especially with work...I would rather spend my time with my incredible 3 yr old girl than at any car show/event.

Petty excuses to some but I really don't care what anyone else thinks.

I can commit alot more of my time now though. Seeing as I am quite a familiar helpful kind of bloke, I thought I would put my name forward.

Stu, like everyone has already said, cracking job uptil now fella, top work :agree:

I do belive thats a direct re post mart... My vote is for big steve raider... at least he is well known

It is. I assumed from Dawn's 'announced shortly' comment that we'd know by now, given a fortnight has since passed.

Agreed, it should be a well known/been in the club a long while person who gets the nod, especially if they're to have Committee status as well.

:bored:

I would like my name withdrawn for this position.

:agree:

If you're withdrawing as well Jon, that surely makes Big Steve numero uno choice then?

Yep i with drew and told miller i think big steve raider is the best man for the job, and id rather be area rep.. well looks like neither will happen on this front.

Big steve deffo is the best bet for events orginiser.. Genuine credit to the club that chap :)

That's going on the false assumption that no-one applied directly but didn't post on this thread. Which is what happened.

The committee are just as keen to fill this appointment and also don't want it to drag on much longer.

Thanks for response ian, i as a few others deem it essential that its a well know, approachable member, thats vital... hope the right choice has been made, critical decision.

May I ask what the delay is then?

Would it be possible to have a name list of who's applied for the job? I don't think an important club role such as this needs to be all cloak & dagger a la the Area Rep list, which, resultantly, caused that thread to spiral out of control & get locked.

The current delay is simply in trying to contact all on the list.

We may give up on that any time soon.

As far as seeing the list of who applied, that seems like a fair request.

I don't think any of them should object, after all, they were applying for a very visible position.....

Alastair

Planning, dealing with commercial contracts leadership, communication and engineering are my daily bread. Experience in organising large multi national, multi agency events.

I have just taken on the role of Secretary for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines MSA

Because he will not be in the UK much he would not be suitable for the roll just now.

CHOD

For 5 years up until 2007 i ran a car site just like this one called cruise midlands.com which at the peak had around 6000 members, so i organised events and club stands for that.

From 2005 to 2008 i ran and owned a DVD production company called street life TV which made DVDs for people like fast car etc so arranged club stands at shows etc. However my biggest achievement was organising a charity even for Asda walmart at bruntingthorpe where i had just under 8000 people turn up where they could be taken round the track in cars like lambo's, atoms DB9 and they could also have a go at driving arctics around the track.

So iv done a little bit before and know about public liabilities etc.

On paper seems very suited to the roll with a lot of pertinent experience. Though is fairly new to the club and not well known.
