You ever had someone strop off and leave midway through election of officials when they didn't get in?
That was a fun year

Ive been on the committee with one role or another for longer than I can remember, it can be hard work if you don't have like minded people.
There's often disagreements and trying to get everyone in the same direction is hard.But I personally would encourage you to get involved if you think you can contribute at all.its better to try to change things from the inside than outside.It also would help you understand how the club runs. So if you feel able now or somewhere down the line stick your hand up and volunteer.

About 5 years ago our committee was split, we had no money and we're facing real difficulties.We had to have some tough conversations about money and put personal differences aside, not unlike what you might do at work.

Having cut all costs to the bone,cancelled all pay to coaches,mobile phone costs-I even cancelled our telephone line,5 years later we have a healthy balance sheet-because different personalities were forced to work together.
I now have the job no one wants...dicipline and drugs policy falls at my door.Yes it's like having another job, but I've learnt a lot doing it.

So...ask whatever questions you want it's all experience in the long run,and if you think you can contribute anything let them know.

Nope but we did have our EGM for our new badge (i think you've seen it) and people cried about that

Thanks for that mate. I'm genuinely interested in this side of the game aswell so think I may put myself forward but new to the club so may be a bit early but what I've learnt being a coach at my childhood club which is a very successful club aswell may be of interest and help to my new club

They left the club, yet to return!

Yep, fully grown adult.
Had a tantrum about the bloke who he was up against gaving a better "you should vote for me" speech than him.
He said to put in the minutes he obstained from voting due to it being an unfair contest.
Then threw the toys out the pram when he didn't get in, told everyone the club was a f***ing joke and left.

Sometimes things have to change. People do get upset but surely talking it over and not loosing the plot is a better way to deal with it. Eye opening chat this I never ever thought this sort of stuff happened

Wow. I hope someone took the opportunity to let him know he'd dropped his dummy on the way out [emoji476][emoji476]
