New Bikes/ Old Bikes:
Greg Nelson spoke about the trouble he is having registering his trail bike as the bike has been erroneously labelled as a non-road registrable bike.
Rescue Service trial: Rod Barrett:
The following are points raised during the discussion:
Decision needs to be made about does this programme become a permanent fixture or should the programme be terminated.
Greg N. Spoke to the negative.
1) $50 you can join a national pick-up service.
2) Funds can be better used in the club, spend the money on club activities.
3) Different expectations of how program should work which makes it more complex to administer.
4) Most active members have a support network in the club who can be called upon to help out. Many members have a trailer and are happy to help out.
Discussion regarding some pros and cons of the service. John Ogden presented the point that sometimes Trev and Peter did not charge for pick ups. Rebuttal point is Dragon and Old Mate are businesses and should not be expected to provide discount or free services.
Kevin R. No point in leaving money in separate account? Why not have the money in general account and just monitor outgoings as with other expenses. Greg responds that the extra account isn’t an issue but let’s spend the money on the members.
No matter what we do we can’t meet every member’s needs.
On website we include details of pickup services at own expense.
Rod is agnostic on pickup service, the positive of the service is available to all members once a year which does provide a benefit to all club members.
Rod should we gazette the motion to vote on the service or does this meeting agree that we can vote on the rescue trial. The meeting agreed to vote on the issue.
Do we continue trial for 1 year? Vote 16 for/ 3 against. Motion is carried to continue the rescue trial.
Rod has put out the new document re the Rescue service. Members need to be aware of the conditions. The main point is the user pays the service provider and is reimbursed but he club. There is only one use per member per year with a total of $300. A less charge still is considered the members one use. It does not reimburse members for petrol if they pick up their own bike.
Rod led a discussion on ways to spend club money:
Some activities discussed:
BBQ at Tallowa Dam.
new and improved Christmas party.
