Re: Commitee?
This is the "volunteering thread I was referring to. HERE. Looking back it seems that maybe they handled it all without any outside help or maybe just haven't got around to making contact again yet.
Without Fireman jumping in and starting organising though this idea would never have been put to the rest of us and possible volunteers would have been missed. Nobody had a go at him and said he had no right to suggest doing something on behalf of AccyWeb. Maybe I just don't explain myself very well. I know I said I couldn't do much but I would have done a bit if possible and a lot of little bits sometimes add up to more than one person can do alone. |

I suppose if it comes down to it then maybe a vote poll to see whether its a viable step for Accyweb to take & moderators would have to be ok for it to happen, but personally i think we are ok as we are for now:)

Maybe we'd just better leave it all up to Mez to organise whatever needs organising then by way of carnival floats or whatever. She does a good job organising the meets. Neil, are you saying that things like this idea of helping out the school shouldn't be done as a bunch of AccyWebbers? |

I don't have a problem with a bunch of us doing something, only with alienating other members. I also think the formal nature of a committee might take some of the fun out of AccyWeb. After all it is a pretty chilled out place usually. |
Re: Commitee?
Maybe "committee was the wrong word then. I interpreted Mez's idea as "let's do something instead of just wittering on about it" and maybe preferring to have helpers rather than it all being left to her. Then again I could be wrong.
Mez isn't a moderator but she's a darned good organiser. |
Re: Commitee?
sigh.....like headless chickens you lot ..
for example... Accy Carnival Someone needs to fill in the forms to take part. Someone need to get the lorry for the float Someone need to organise who does what and when to make the float...this has to be well organised Who makes the float.. who goes on the float on the day... who pays for stuff.. who does what? The way of the world is............. Someone has to take charge........ But wiht big projects that one person cant do it on there own so needs helpers... .call it a committee, call it the mafia..call it susan if you want...... but it would need doing.. or you can sit here arguing until the next carnival passes by... at least you can wave to it without falling over yourselves wondering who does what :) These are just my observations... I will be heavilly involved with a float for the supports club again so cant put time into this... but I do know it does take organisation and leadership.........if you want to do something or make a difference.. you ahve to be organised... simple as that |
Re: Commitee?
Hey are you ready to fall over backwards with shock KIPAX? :eek:
I agree with everything you've just said! :D |

It's not a case of people being pressured into anything. I'm sure that was never the original intention. People don't have to do things in the name of AccyWeb, it was simply that at one time a member suggested that because we are such a varied group of people with a variety of skills and abilities then perhaps as a group we might be of benefit to someone else even if all some of us could do would be brew up whilst the others did their more skilled thing. A bunch of people together like that, working together in harmony can acheive a lot more than they possibly could individually. For instance, just making cups of tea with nobody to drink them would be pointless but making them for people who were working on something would be appreciated. Also the ones doing the other jobs could then get on with it and would probably be thankful for the cup of tea or whatever. some of us might be skilled and some of us might be better as labourers. But as KIPAX says, even the simplest of things need some sort of organisation to get them off the ground in the first place. Take this carnival idea. OK, so we can all post to volunteer what we've got to offer - but who are we offering it to? |
Re: Commitee?
Then a vote should be the order & work from there is the only way to move forward on this thread & see what the results are & think people are just concerned that it will effect the groups harmony & unsure as to what exactly it entails, whether a group of organisers or a committee, though committee does sound more formal & that is what people are reading into.

Re: Commitee?
Well let's call it a "Susan" then. I'll leave you to sort out the finer details.

Re: Commitee?
At the end of the day someone has got to become somesort of figurehead it's only a name not a rank but just someone who can co-ordinate the efforts of all those who wish to be involved, otherwise tasks will be duplicated, tasks will be overlooked etc.We have more than enough skills in the people on this site to overcome all these problems. Maybe a short chat at the next meet would go a long way to sort out an organising forum with a common goal to put Accy Web on the level it should be within the local community.
