I was at the meeting last night and i must say i voted to keep it. People need to get off their arse and get along to these meetings. 
Hi Brian (or is it Lisa?)
I respect what you are saying because I know how much you and your family put into the cvlub along with the others that I don't know or haven't met yet. I too like to be involved with my club and I would love to get to these meetings but as I discussed with you at last Saturday's practice (if you are indeed Brian and not Lisa
) for me it's an impossibility. In fact I recently resigned as Treasurer of the Sunshine Coast 4WD Club, after holding a position on that club's committee for 10 more more years (because like to be involved). Why resign? Well I'm just too busy these days. I'm not complaining in any way but, like most, I work a full time day job but I also own and, with my wife, work in our 2 Eagle Boys pizza shops, both open 7 days a week (in fact I just got home now from working on Origin night). I also do the paperwork for both businesses. Then there are the 3 beautiful children we have, eldest just got her L's last Friday (OMG where did the time go??), youngest is only 10 .. all of which play soccer and all of which play musical instruments in the school bands etc. They are busy kids and that translates into busy parents as I'm sure you know with your tribe. Then we try to go camping up the beach now and then and we snow ski at least one week per year. I also attempt to maintain my ever burgeoning fleet of motorcycles (I'm a sucker for a VMX bike), and then there is my small collection of Muscle cars, one of which is undergoing a full restoration at the moment
.
Oh yeah and I sometimes get to the race track for a ride too ... but I'm buggered if I know where I find the time to be honest
So unfortunately I just can't make these meetings, partly because they are over 100kms away from me but mostly because I just don't have the time. As I said above, I would love to be involved further but just can't do it.
So again, not complaining at all but I would definately support a system of being involved without actually attending however not if that involves a lot of effort bby the club just to cater for me as I would not want that either.
Cheers
Craig
