evilknieval69 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 hey guys there has been a bit of talk between a few of us locals and the concensus is that we should start a club within tauranga/te puke/papamoa etc. etc. i know that there are a few people who would be interested in starting one. what would need to happen?? what would we have to do?? what would we need to have.... any help with this would be great. also would anybody local say if they are keen!!!! thankyou **EVIL** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Sounds like a good idea, - it's been quite some time since there was a club in your area. You don't need to do much. I'd use the incorporated societies information as a bit of a guide (just to get some kind of structure but if you don't become an incorporated society you don't have to meet the minimum requirements etc). You can always affiliate to the FNZAS as well... You'll need to appoint a few officers like President, Secretary, Treasurer etc. It also pays to have an editor to produce a monthly newsletter to keep everyone informed. Just get a few people together and decide to give it a go and you have a basic club. All it really takes is somebody with the energy to drive it along at the start. Once it gains some momentum it will look after itself to some degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have been asked this so often I will make a sticky some time in the next few days, when I have the time, and post a How To guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Evil, start collecting names etc, I have someone interested in being a co-ordinator for you. Also one of the members from this forum is shifting from Auck to T and wants to organise a club there. I'm happy to come up and meet you when you have a date sorted and act as an adviser or for you to ask questions and I'll hopefully be able to answer them.

sharn Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 me and antwan have already got a few things already lined up and planned for a club, pretty sure i told you aye? anyhow were getting out posters done soon hopefully and our first meeting will be in about a month and a halfs time with any luck, if youd like to know more just come round and have a chat or something, ive already got a few people im talking to about giving club members discounts etc and our first meeting will be a shared dinner at a place (have to sort that one out), ant doesnt want it at his place but mines a bit far out, paul was interested in a club and were interested in having him as one of the 'leaders' (caue he has so many fish and probably knowledge to match) so if he gets in touch we may be able to have it at his place, it is going to be on a weekend too. anyway, any people interested in knowing more can pm me or ant if you like, we havent got everything set in stone but were getting there lol. once we get enough members and things rolling for a few months we will look at getting affiliated with the FNZAS which would be realyl good and with luck this time next year our 'club' will be having tank crawls (yeah im getting ahead of myself i know lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
