fair points...
re: public officer, ive been helping to do the secretary work for my mum, and treasury work for my dad, for the FJ-FX 48-215 Car Club SA inc for 5 or so years.
have all the docs such as minutes, rules, legals etc. updating membership + posting Club Letter every few months, few runs per year with overnight stays arranged,
also do the balance sheet, etc. lots involved, meetings monthly. mum and dad love it as they are right into FJ's and FX's, but dont use PC so I do that side of it for them.
lots involved. good fun with rewards at the end, such as pride @ winning a cup at a show n shine at Pt Lincoln or something like that, if thats your thing, with a caravan park half booked out by club members.
the old birds and blokes with polished FJ's isnt my side, thats my old's but I help them with the pc running of the show, so I know the other side of running a club...... if you need a hand pm me.
it could potentially grow to be a large club, with the cams side of things, but the Officer side of things is a hard but fundamental role in the formation and on-going success of a club
