Local Centre/Region/Divisions AGMs

I think that many members  only consider local centres etc in connection with rallies and events. They are mainly content with the CC's commercial offerings and therefore do not involve themselves. No idea how, or why you would change that.

Sorry, I can’t be constructive. I joined the club for its sites network and have no interest at all in rallies/centres/regions or governance. I suspect there are many like me.

I’m quite happy for the elected officials to do their own thing on my behalf and for the staff to manage the club. If they do something I don’t like, other than a moan on here, I’ll live with it. I can always walk away if it no longer suits  

Remind us where the club’s AGM was held and I think that will provide a lot of answers. 

We have in the past been involved in voluntary work on,commities,and know it is hard to keep "faith" with the lack of support from members of any organisation ,but plenty of those who think they could do it better? but are much to "busy" to assist ,then as noted on here still want all the benifits that come from belonging

I am sorry but do not think unless there are any "incentives"on offer to attend, these days the situation will not get any better 

If I understand the OP correctly he is referring to members that participate in rallies and Centre activities not attending and supporting the various committees at their individual AGM's? Where I used to work we had lots of Clubs and Societies and the annual AGM's were always the worse attended meetings! I suspect people avoided them to avoid being co-opted onto a committee!!! Some people within our ex-works Pensioner Group get annoyed that many don't attend the monthly meetings, which help fund the group, but are more than happy to participate in the outings and holidays which are organised. It just seems a trait of human behaviour.

That’s life, JV. There’s no point in trying to pressgang uninterested individuals into helping as the results will be a disaster. Far better to leave it to those enthusiastic folk who willingly undertake such roles. I contribute financially and that’s all the club requires of me.

Probably happy for other folk to do the required work and don’t want to be roped in.

But then as is happening, it seems more often that popular local organisations are "closing " for lack of interest when asking for volunteers to help run them,the NT and EH are having to rely on an ever diminishing pools of what is now the core older generation which are not being topped up by younger people

I am indeed, whereas other folk are more than keen to get roped in and relish that opportunity. 

That could most certainly be down to older ages to claim states pension 6 years more working for me 7 for those women following on and another couple of years for men, that's just at present and they will go higher! Caring duties for our elderly relatives and probably grandchildren care too. That leaves little uncommitted time for routine things and enjoying retirement. 

These days too many volunteer 'jobs' were once paid, I've seen so much where this has happened. Not that the subject of the original post 😉. I believe schools PTA's etc suffer too. You cant expect folks to work full time, manage a family, elder care and volunteer - there aren't enough hours in the day. Those that may have time may not have the inclination 😉

It's a great shame but I'm certain folks avoid AGM's in case they're roped in!

First question. What is the point of district/centre councils? I am not saying that there is no point.
