Re: The Expense Of The Club Mag

To me, your comments through this thread come across as highly critical of the running of the club.
Looks like Steve Bedo viewed it similarly.
I can't recall any other member commenting that they thought the magazine format should change. We are duty bound to look after the interests of the majority just as much as the financial position of the club, which, if you glance at the latest magazine, look pretty healthy compared to when I was elected.

Yes I understand why maybe you don't like my responses but as is usual when people start questioning whether officers should be in their position, the fact that we are volunteers is completely lost. If we were paid employees, or indeed milked any expenses (which we dont - that is one of the things that changed), then I could understand your feelings more.

While, as I have already made clear, we do discuss every member suggestion (even though this forum is nothing to do with the club) you cannot reasonably expect us to pander to every change that just one single member supports?
There is absolutely no way we can keep every single member of the hobby happy, we do the best we can. If continuing the magazine in its current format is one of the things the vast majority want, then while it does not have a detrimental impact on the clubs finances, I don't see a justification to change it.
Bear in mind this is not the club bb, and this is all my personal opinion. The BoD does not make its decisions here grin

If, hypothetically (why and how not relevant) the magazine costs were reduced and the clubs surplus grew faster, what benefit would there be? Is there something else you feel the club should be spending the money on instead? If so then that is an entirely different subject for discussion.
