Indeed, I've already made a donation.... but I appreciate Deluxes post and viewpoint and I believe that before too long all his questions will be answered
I wont say any more because at this stage I just want to see a basic structure made, and enough cash raised to establish the thing, then set a reasonable annual fee and a truly democratic structure.... I think its in the best interests of the club that everyone on the organisation committee (me, others, etc) exclude themselves from the nominated positions to ensure transparency... because a lot of you guys out there think that we're doing this to start a personality cult or something else (I've heard some bizarre points lately so you'll excuse the theatrics)... its all good, we're going to run it by the numbers, note down everything and everything will be done via ballot. i'm going to advise that after the first 3 months there are elections for new committee and afterwards it'd be done on an annual basis
however, thats just my personal agenda. if anyone else has anything constructive that they think we should be aware of, please do post. The keyword is constructive criticism (which many of you have given us some excellent ideas so far, so thankyou guys!) but comments like 'your ideas r teh sux' will mostly be ignore unless they are followed with an argument as to just >why< they suck
-D
Edit - Would just also like to add - this isnt some clique. I'm not part of any weekly meets, and neither are many of the people who want to see this get off the ground. I just don't understand why ya'll are saying that it has anything to do with villis or bp meets aside from a couple of members being on the interim committee...(since I rather hate the location personally, i dont bother going most nights since its after work for me ;P)
