The first general meeting has come and gone. Leading up to 5pm it looked like the meeting was going to be somewhat of a dud with only 4 people being in store. People did show up and it turned into quite the discussion of what the club is, does and will be doing in the future. Many points were touched on and here is a brief rundown on what went on...
Riverland Gamers Guild 1st Meeting
2-5-09
Commenced at 5.10pm
10 Attendees
Welcomes and all that stuff
A brief run down on how the club would operate. There are 4 heads of the club each with their own specialist field thatthey will be promoting and coordinating events for. Steve S (Flames of War), Dave H (Computer gaming, RPG's), Jacob M (CCG's) and Ashley H (All other Gaming)
Club fee structure as stated in another thread.
Suggestions box was opened up:
Locked donation box to sit on the Dice and Decks counter. All donations to be going to the Riverland Gamers Guild.
The paint table and the state of organisation on it. The painting table will soon be moved to the space between the two doorways into the Dice and Deck. This will include shelving and dividers so anyone using it will have their own defined space. A Display shelf ill be situated above the painting table and all miniatures within it will be protected behind a perspex screen.
Club names were bought up but this was obviously a really old suggestion as a club name had already been decided upon.
Standardised color of fluoresent lighting. The fluoros will now all be one color and all be accounted for. This will be done shortly after Alcopocalypse has been and the club has some funds.
Next the floor was open to anyone who wanted to bring up anything to discuss.
The Club Charter. A long discussion about this was bought up and it was decided that we shall ontact the appropriate govt body in order to get some real direction with this, how to format it and what it really needs to include.
Meeting Attendance. Decided to be in no ways mandatory in any way. An apologies list will be put up in the club room for people being unable to attend to sign.
Incorporating into a Non For Profit Organisation. This will happen next year and will allow us to try out the new organisation structure within the club and make any adjustments before formalising it.
Out back storage space. Is now strictly for paying members. Membership fee will get you either one shelf or two draws. Additional space may be hired for an additional fee (an extra $5 a month to effectively double your space) New shelves will be bought in the near future.
Magic Tables. A new purpose built magic table will be built and placed where the current painting table is. A design for the table (and the new club layout) will be posted on these boards when the design has been finalised and be available for your comments.
Club book codex use. The club will soon be buying its own copies of all current codicies for PAYING MEMBERS to use. This is not to replace people buying their own copies but for reference should a member leave their book at home during a game etc.
Leagues were discussed. Leagues will happen more often and for all our major systems including CCG's. Leagues will follow a 6 week format and be priced at around $20 per entrant. All leagues will conclude with a BBQ at the awards handouts.
Tournamnets were also discussed. Standard format will see a 2 day 5-6 game event. $25-$30 per player.
Club Cards will be designed by J Wagnaar and a hole punch will be created by Dave H. Club cards go for the year and when membership is paid the month is punched out. We shall also be discussing a discount for current month members with local businesses.
Advertising. Event classifieds at this stage. A flyer will be created and dropped by foot. Volunteers needed.
Insurance. We will be shopping around for the best policy for the club. Public Liability and theft damage for club owned items. No coverage for peoples stored stuff.
Painting competitions. These will make a come back and the prize will be in the form of a perpetual trophy. No entry fee.
The All Round Hobbyist awards will make a comeback. Score points for participating in club events and bonus points for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and sports. Points tallied up at the end of the year. Winner gets a prize. This will be to encourage members to get involved in as much of the hobby as possible.
Meeting finished at 6.30pm
