Commitee?

Yeh my point exactly there Gayle, I think Mez has brought up the topic but i think she was implying a less official method of keeping it open on here.
 
I think it might work if you had a committe for the carnival float, for example. That group could meet to discuss that specific thing and it wouldn't be much of an issue because consultation could happen through threads and then the committee could make the decisions and take action.

I don't think it would work if you had one fixed committee who did all this sort of stuff because that's where the officialdom starts kicking in and causing problems.

............which still doesn't seem too well received. Yet if nobody does anything how will things like a carnival float etc get organised? Or would you rather we didn't have one if everybody can't be involved?

I just think it's a shame that good ideas slip away because there's nobody actually up and doing. Hence the Arndale clock thing sliding into oblivion. All we ever do sometimes is talk about things and go round and round in repetitive circles.

We talk about AccyWeb meets but then Mez is the one who gets up and goes out and organises them. If she didn't we wouldn't have them. Posting about thngs is all very well but some things also require physical actions.

The discussing could take place on the board, it's the actions that would need to be done at a committee type level - things such as getting the vehicle and planning when it is going to be decorated etc, even where to meet up to get on it. Then again, who would be on it and will people who aren't on it accuse those who are on it of being a clique? It's a minefield.

Which is why it would be good to have different groups doing different things - Fireman suggested voluntary work for the community at one time but I don't think anything was ever organised about that. Without organisation things just don't happen.
 
Thing is Willow some people are do-ers & some people are creative on ideas its what makes us truelly individual:) I dont think Mez has put herself up for this anyway & twas a discussion of idea's, if people want to do something they do & theres those that dont, its the way of life & its a hard job being a Citizen Smith.
 
Have kept out of this until now. No offence to Mez, but I think it's a daft idea, except for the carnival planning like Gayle said.

This is a forum, I think there's already enough infrastructure in place for people that want to make a difference and get things changed.

Any organised commitee could never be representative of the members here.

Never having being a team player myself, I prefer to do things that I think need addressing under my own steam.

Like Willow said, what happened to all the excited good intentions re: wrist bands and ribbons?
 
Wrist band application form was sent in - like I said I would. It takes about 12 weeks for these people to assess funding applications. I did say at the time it would take a while.

Please be patient.

Thanks Gayle.
 
You could probably equally argue that no carnival float could be representative of everyone here either so maybe it would be better not to have one than risk upsetting anybody?

No, but it would have to be ok'd by Roy, and I'm sure that anyone who wanted to be involved would be welcomed.

When it come's to political direct action, I think that this is something that isn't really the job of a forum.

We are all capable of picking up a phone if something we read concerns us enough to act upon, without having to band together under a non representative banner.
 
See look at the discussion now on this thread if this is how stubbornly divided it is then a committee formed will fall down anyway.
 
True, Accystanmac, and I don't want to sound like I'm arguing against myself, which I am as well, but face to face it's easier to come to a decision because presumably there'd have to be a Chair of the committee who would facilitate the final decisions.

Lol, exactly. It would be the same with choosing a name, the only thing we all agree on here is the right to disagree!:)
 
I'd pity the person who got lumbered with the Chair's job - that's a recipe for disaster, they'd become the most hated person around here - and there's a lot of competition for that job already.

Excellent point Garinda & i think that was on par with what the thread was really about, im sure if we have specific threads for like of the carnival, people can add their ideas & offers of help there & create a chart or list or something so people can add to whatever support & help they can offer.

Oh goodie, I've changed my mind.

Where do I sign up??
 
So does that mean that you would all prefer things not to be done in the name of AccyWeb?

That probably explains why no voluntary helping the community type stuff ever got off the ground then.
 
Hey i did voluntry work in the community helping schools & CAB, so i think thats quite harsh, its not that people dont do anything for charity or in their community it just means there is no cause for a ruling body to do it.
