...but MHF isn't a Club as such, it's a loose association of like minded individuals, who happen to have something in common (ie motorhomes).
Of course its all facilitated by this excellent forum & all Jim's hardwork.
[would, could MHF exist pre internet?]
Why would there be committees etc as there's no plan, no regular monthly meeting, no calendar, no schedules.
It helps that other "organisations" organise shows that MHF piggyback but its not essential.
It'd be interesting to know what proportion of members are active on the forum, what proportion regularly attend meets or rallies. And for me I'd be curious to know if any/many play no active role on the forum but turn up for real life events?

All very good questions. You should have a meeting with @Chris to discuss forming a committee to establish the answers and produce a report detailing member activity.

Good idea.

Just email me your available dates

 

[Tootles]

I think that's probably advisable. We should probably send some emails to determine who to invite to the meeting. Or do you think it needs a pre-meeting meeting?

And what did the Romans ever do for us?

No need. The date and time of any pointless meeting has been enshrined by decades of meeting tradition. It has to be at 4PM on a Friday in the most inconvenient place for everybody concerned apart from the most annoying little shit there.

Yes. His desk is the very long one with beer pumps attached.

About 10 years ago it was...

Do you have to pay to attend FUN rallies or meets? And if so who does the money go to?

Do you have to pay to attend FUN rallies or meets? And if so who does the money go to?

Mark thats a complicated question to answer.

Apart from the yearly subscription - No one pays for the "privilege" of attending Fun rallies or meets.

People do pay for their pitch and whatever ever else they wish to pay for so as an example

If attending a motorhome show, the fee is paid direct to Warners or the organisers and on their form you state you are part of mh fun and that way your "parking/pitching space will be allocated within the area that the organisers have allocated to MHfun.

When I hold a rally/meet all payments are made directly to the campsite

Some people who organise meets take the payments for the pitch themselves and they pass payment in full onto the school or campsite or field owner etc.

The only money that goes direct to mhfun is occasionally from an extra activity organised for a specific purpose (I am sure Jim will correct me if I am wrong) - so for example when a larger marquee was needed raffles were held to fund it.

And for quite a few years motorhome fun had no subscription fee at all. I think subs came in when a larger server was needed and I believe that costs lots of money.

@Chris you would have loved it at our rugby club last night. First we had a meeting with some bloke from the RFU about some funding, then we moved onto a committee meeting where the first meeting was discussed at some length and once we finally managed to move onto other things someone wanted to set up some sub-committees for something or other. While all this excitement was happening in the lounge the mini junior section were having their own committee meeting in the bar area.
The only up side to this was that the bar was open throughout.
This morning there have been emails about the meetings

Would one of the sub committees be a "task and finish" group?

No but there is a "facilitating" group with several sub committees

I like FUNS style....long may it continue....do you ever get little 'jobs worths' wanting to set up committees and hold AGMs and buy Chairmans bling and spend members money on personal laptops and new fangled websites when the original one is fine.....oh no! Sorry! That's another organisation entirely! .......Keep going as you are FUN

 

[Deleted member 29692]

Chairmans bling

Have you seen Comrade Great Leaders new RV?

Freeloading Tossers will not be welcome

This is a total disgrace!

Blatant prejudice.

I am organising an official investigation to see what can be done about it.

This should be completed by June 2017. On receipt of the report a committee will be formed to decide what action should be taken.

Well this is just your opinion, could I humbly suggest that we form a committee to look into whether non-acceptance of free loading Tossers is in fact a "Total Disgrace or merely the "opinion" of a paltry few, who probably don't matter anyway.

..........anyone second that?

Prior to the formation of a committee I think it's mission critical to form working group to provide precise definitions of "free loading tosser" & "total disgrace" in order to allow the committee to proactively look under the bonnet and get all it's ducks in a row.

I'll second that and I further propose that ShiftZZ be approached to act as Chairperson and that we should follow his recommendations as to the number and source of the persons sitting on this committee.

Are you absolutely sure about that? Just to run something up the flag pole I would have thought we need someone with more of a helicopter view to action the idea shower and deliver the strategic staircase.

 

[Popeye]

I think you'll find my honorable friend that ShiftZZ is in himself a Complete Shower and that we should make every effort to get him to climb the strategic staircase whilst his knees are in relatively good order.
