spikey Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 This is a fair point , but the whole point of the matter is, it has now been raised & it now needs to be delt with. then really all those who want to be involved need to organise a meeting and get the ball rolling....
shiralee Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 This is a fair point , but the whole point of the matter is, it has now been raised & it now needs to be delt with. I know i know and i agree, just think its a shame it came down to this!!!
spikey Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) I know i know and i agree, just think its a shame it came down to this!!! is it just me or is there this strange feeling that this has caused a bigger divide in the group, quite a heated arguement that still has lead nowhere. start anew NOW, MOVING FORWARD, WHO CAN AND WILL DO WHAT !!!!

ROAR Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 I appreciate that members have their views and are at will to air their views BUT... should this have been done so public, as in my view (which may or may not be wrong!!) this looks like a very public vote of no confidence for the existing R.O. who if ousted has to face every body at a national event who will know that the club she played a vey large part in running through its infancy. has kicked her in the teeth...... could this not have been done at a private meet............... Just my thoughts.........

ROAR Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 if that is the general feeling of the club memebers, then that is the feeling but i just feel it could have been done with a meeting involving ALL of the kent scoobies memebers and not on the public forum.....
phil Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Hi Guys Thought I would stick my head in Can I just clarify "SIDC Funding" Club funds go towards all its members benefits i.e. Mag, Website, Show Equipment etc etc We do not have enough funds to supply every region with Marquees, flags, etc etc ..... I ONLY WISH WE COULD. We do however put on some great stands at various large events to keep attracting new members This equipment can be borrowed if you have a local show - just contact myself or Wimpy There is another way of raising money If you guys can find local sponsors that are prepared to advertise with the club I will feed this money back to the region. This is how Essex has managed to buy flags, banners and its own Marquee. The other possible option [Andy will have to ok this] is have an extended membership to your SIDC Membership and become a KS Supporter for £x amount a year [a bit like the ESC Badge on Scoobynet] BUT This amount would be made available exclusively for KS use i.e. flags etc etc. Ok hope thats cleared funding up. please PM me if you want any further clarification "committee's" can I make one point about this Essex don't have one they just have a core of friends that talk openly about events Tiny rounds them up and of we go !!! Its a car club Your SIDC Regional Organiser Pele put Kent on the Map and was one of the first regional clubs to approach me to have there own section she deserves respect. If you guys feel things need a shake up or fresh blood why not arrange a meet and feed of each other and use Pele's experiance. REMEMBER IF YOU FEEL A CHANGE IS REQUIRED IT SHOULDN'T MEAN PELE IS NOT PART OF THE "Team"

scoots Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Well said, exactly the sentimients that i feel a few of us have, lets arrange a meet and discuss it like adults. That's fine with us, just need a when and a where

Nudge Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Kentscoobies has grown up a lot in the last few years and this is thanks to all its current members. A club is defined by its members and their opinions, and each individual is entitled to their own opinions, whether its for, or against, the title of this post, I (as many of us) have received lots of help from the more established members of this club from time to time, and am grateful for its existence. This post was raised by a member of KS of which he is entitled to do so, the way forward now is to solve this issue by having a meeting of all those who have an idea, issue, or grievance and put Kent Scoobies on track. I am a member of Kent Scoobies even though I currently live in Wiltshire, I still have roots in Dartford and have a passion for the club, I am also a member of SWS, and didn’t mind paying a members fee towards the running of the club, If club members have the interests of their club at heart now is the time to speak, Pele has been good to us lot and I don’t feel anybody bears her any malice, I for one have admiration for her, so if we want to move forward lets do it together, organize a special meet in advance at a viable spot, and discuss in what direction we want our club to go, even better Pele is the regional organizer, let her organize it, we are all grown adults, (apart from me) lets make our club what we want it to be.

luke_clifton Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 I'd be up for paying extra to help better fund the club. KS is already a great club i feel privileged to be a member. I feel like i should be giving at least something back to the club.

big jay Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Think a meet is a good idea. Me and wife will be there.(just not a friday coz i work nights and have no holiday left )
granby Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Thanks very much for your input Phil and clearing a few things up The idea of a KS supporter sounds like a great idea if at all possible I don't think anyone wouldn't want Pele as part of the team as she has done so much for the club in the past So all that needs to be done now is to try and arrange a date where everyone can come along and have there say ps...i was gonna post my opinions today but after reading everything now i think it would be best i aired them when we all meet up
granby Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 GRANBY FOR PRESIDENT but then again why stop there, how about ruler of the universe

prodrive tony Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 but then again why stop there, how about ruler of the universe This has been dealt with completely the wrong way and quite discracefully really. Pele been there from the start and probably longer than most of us. If anythings to be changed it should have been done directly with Pele at the meetings of which I've never seen some of these doubters at?? I'm sure she would'nt mind putting extra effort in or sharing the responsabilitys to someone willing. How must she be feeling now! As for costs it must be down to us to organise surely, think of the satisfaction well get for building the club up. Lets not run this club as bad as my 'Tottenham' or we'll be in big trouble.
spikey Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 so when are we all gonna get together and sort this out ???? (put an end to the public execution)
