Definitely,

we may look to next season as being a fundraiser towards a marketing budget possibly. But that will be for next seasons committee to decide.

The problem, as in previous years, is there are too few of us to really get stuck into anything worthwhile. Some of us spend hours a week, extra to the footy, chasing leads and ideas around that eventually come to nothing. The Open Day was a 6-8 months worth of hard work for nothing, the Exhibition is being run by around 1/3 of what should be involved, only about four or five peeople ever volunteer to hand out leaflets. Without the input of people how could we ever hope to run things like an OSC shop perhaps, or without folk handing out leaflets every week how could we ever hope to get the entire crowd aware of our every turn, next meeting, next event, newsletter etc

The Exhibition was decided upon as being more important than anything else this season so consequently we have not concentrated any efforts on organising functions that nobody attends, merchandise that few folk (other than Ebay) buy, sponsored events that nobody takes part in etc.

Next season with the Exhibition out of the way we can again begin to think of things to do that could benefit us and the club.
