You have been great for the role, let that not be forgotten if you step down
Maybe the committee should all resign and let anarchy take over? Marxism in action with a new RTOC rising from the Ashes?
Or we could be responsible, take charge, have a management structure and try and do it right.
Are we adjusting the price or not?
I'm lost over the whole thing now.
It does look like we are going to be adjusting the price when we can figure out exactly how to Pages and papers have to be adjusted. How do we adjust the two tier system? Will what we do work as we want it to? These matters are under investigation.
It's all gone anul.
I don't know why this was ever posted for member input. Threads like this only ever go one way
RTOC at its best
I don't know how you can say that Ashy when this thread has led to 3 new committee members and at lest 6 new members. Facebook feedback, a Youtube channel, a twitter account and more besides. It's done the club a power of good. And everyone who said, seems OK with £15 renewal.
Lots of good ideas and positives from the thread.
What role did Jrp go for in the end or what was he given ????
So far it was Ross and Chris to do events and Romil to do various things. And Haz who has been quietly running the shop for some months.
It was posted as I/the committee wanted to hear what the members had to say/think about the price increase rather than making the decision for the whole club with 5/6 committee people
This thread has been very positive for sure
Re the price increase, yes it should be going ahead soon. I beleive I know how to alter the website to accomodate the price change, we just need to alter a few pages to reflect the price. Once done I'll make an announcement
please listen to this whilst reading, makes it more dramatic.

As one or two have said, this thread has been totally different from the others of its type. Things have actually happened this time! More even than has been listed in Ian's post.
It's been a breath of fresh air and it's come not a moment too soon IMO. Who started the thread? The committee. Who has been responsible for ringing the changes? The members. Brilliant!
Matt - I agree with you totally. I have always been an advocate of a committee based leadership for this club. Sometimes however a bit of anarchy can be good for re-energising and/or refreshing that committee and I hope this thread has had that affect. If so, we need to get the most out of it.
Jon, I think if you really want to get involved then there isn't anything stopping you mate. I mean that honestly. If you want to help this club, there are things to do.
Steve, I really hope you stay in your position, I think you do a great job.
This thread has saved RTOC IMO.
Either get on board or get out.
FB, Twitter, Youtube whatever the media outlet is going to be bringing this club kicking and screaming into 2013 wheather members like it or not.
Now is the time to let vendettas/issues/sarcasm off the boards and get rid of the clique mentality this club is dripping in.
Im glad Andy Blunt has decided to give the club another chance as will so many other members that have left due to the direction (lack of) the club has taken in recent times.
The FB page was looked upon as a threat and a problem that would/could ultimatley end RTOC (still a website but no ND or RRD). Stories of RTOC members PM-ing others to warn them off using FB??? We're here to talk about the cars we love not shaft eachother.
I found a common ground with alot of the "outcasts" on FB and various other avenues after my issues with some members at ND12. I'd use RTOC for info and FB for fun/friends/laidback attitude and have made some good aquaintances and friends. I had no intrest conversing with members who basically couldnt be arsed to say hello. Id say alot of the problems/edge/sarcasm/(being borderline dicks) gives the club a bad rep is generated by a handful of members that think they have some kind of devine right to say and do what they want on here. Cut that out and your onto a winner because the vast amount of ordinary members share the same opinion. Fact.
There will be no naming of names this post is simply to highlight the core issue of the decline of memberships. I just hope the ones that know this is aimed at will take heed if what we are trying to do here is to succeed.
Ive been here less than 12 months and never felt a club member, ive been on FB 3 month and its like ive known some of the lads years. Why is that? I aint the only one! There is no agendas there as it is a new page with all NEW diverse members, not stagnating repetitive condesending attitudes from dinosaurs.
Ive dropped what happened to me n me mate at ND and put it down to experience. Ill be coming again this year with a bit more knowledge of the club and the way it works, bygones be bygones and look forward together for 2013.
As far as the membership goes id go as far to pay up to £35 to ensure good running of the club and get the best experience we can possible (FFS my xbox membership is £35). (or a nut and bolt from CGB)
Love it or hate it this is IMO, i have a MASSIVE ENTHUSIASM BACK FOR THE CLUBS ONCE AGAIN. Peace
Trev, if helps needed and I can in anyway help, I'd be happy to, been a member for years and don't want to see Rtoc fail, I was lost when the site had the long down time period.. If I'm approached I'll seriously consider doing my best by the club. I know I'm flippant quite often, but that's just me... People that know me, know I'm not a baddy.

Trev,
Agree with that. It's now up to the commitee to pull a list of actions together forecast for at least the next 12 months, with the individual tasks assigned to each committee memember (microsoft project is good for this). Each commitee member could then aproach the general members for help and other ideas on how to achieve each goal.
Unfortunately it will require someone to drive this forward and try and keep track of progress from all individuals. To me that's the first port of call, followed closely with a commitee meeting on what to do with this website in order for it to become flexible enough for all the clubs needs.
Matt
Is there an echo in here. This is the exact role I was describing earlier and the person I have my eye on for it is Jon
In all seriousness, that role would do wonders whoever took it on. A bulldog, an enabler who is happy not to be the most popular person in the world, chasing round people for things they are struggling to find the time to progress as they had initially intended (and assisting them, or finding assistance for them, if possible).
More efficiency with reassigning tasks from folk who're simply unable to see things through is also crucial. Where is that updated flyer for example feck's sake?
What I'm saying is, Ian likes to lead from the back and does a fantastic job. He just needs a front man.

Lets be honest here...........no one likes JRP.
There............i've said it.
C'mon give Jon a job .
It is my final wish ,before I take the long walk into the cursed earth , that he be appointed to something that suits his talents

As spoke about earlier in the thread about my cousin having his own filming talents for hire.. Then strange enough he puts up the link above..
Yes I know it's not a gt
