2014 AGM Agenda<\/a><\/p>\n

If any member would like to raise an item at the AGM or stand for a\u00a0Committee post\u00a0please inform the Secretary in writing before the February Committee meeting on 12th Feb.<\/p>\n

There are a few areas where the committee need some help. These don’t have to be full\u00a0committee posts if you do not wish to be a director but attendance at committee meetings\u00a0might be useful from time to time:<\/p>\n

Events\u00a0Coordinator<\/strong> – All of our events require some forward planning, it might be a simple as making sure someone is bringing the tea\/biscuits to meetings right through to do we have enough engines and staff\u00a0for the\u00a0gala day. The basic template for ‘who does what’\u00a0is already in place so this\u00a0role is just about getting people to commit their availability to do a certain job and then passing this info on to whoever is running the event on the day, we are not expecting you to run all the events! The president and\u00a0section reps. will always be there to support\u00a0if you can’t fill a job.<\/p>\n

Publicity Officer<\/strong> – We are all very good at what we do but what the Society lacks is someone to go out there and shout about it! We need someone who\u00a0can:
\nDesign posters to advertise our events and our Society
\nShare this\u00a0information and build on the links we already have with other\u00a0societies
\nOccasionally write up reports for external publications (T&A, Model Engineer etc.)<\/p>\n

Archivist<\/strong> – Michael Gray did an outstanding job of collating the history of the Society from the last 105 years but we now need someone to keep\u00a0up with this legacy and give it a home. This website does keep its own archive but it does not capture everything so we need someone with a spare filing cabinet, some\u00a0spare time\u00a0and some scissors\/glue!<\/p>\n

Junior Representative<\/strong> – The Society needs someone to keep our younger members active and keen and also to encourage more. Junior members are the future of our hobby and we need them! Specifically they can play an important part at the railway but they need someone to keep an eye out on busy days and make sure\u00a0they are\u00a0safe. This has normally been left to the Track Superintendent but with increasing numbers this now needs to be split off as a separate role. This could be a challenging but highly rewarding post and support will always be there from the president and section reps for this vital role.<\/p>\n

Track Superintendent<\/strong> –\u00a0The railway at Northcliffe requires a person to be responsible for the safety of the site and oversee all the societies activities that take place there. This doesn’t mean you have to be\u00a0at every event as responsibility can\u00a0be\u00a0delegated for each running session\u00a0to one of\u00a0the members present. A report is given to the committee each month stating any problems or concerns along with sharing any news and achievements. The main requirements for this role are common sense\u00a0along with\u00a0good observation and people skills. Due to the\u00a0responsibilities\u00a0of this role it is a Committee\/Director position.<\/p>\n

If you wish to discuss any of these roles then please contact myself (bradfordmes@outlook.com<\/a>) or any other committee member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
