I'm delighted to agree with you almost completely about this particular subject, and I can only say that I've been preaching the same gospel within the OSC for the last few years.
You're not naive, you're passionate - and that's important.
However, I should point out that the OSC has never been short of ideas ; like many similar organisations it's got plenty of creative minds but it's short of people who are prepared to adjust their schedule and lifestyle in order to fulfil the suggestions or promises which they've made.
So that's where the crunch is - commitment.
And it must be said (because it's true) that the greatest commitment and the finest results for the Club have come from the older, more experienced Members over the years.
We really, really,
genuinely welcome newer, younger Members to replace us and to continue the tradition. After all, the second rule of management is to plan for succession. But enthusiasm can be a short lived thing (remember the Junior Reds ?) which, if not combined with staying-power, can result in embarrassment and ridicule which reflects very badly upon ASFC itself . And none of us wants that to happen.
So, let's look forward to Monday's AGM in a spirit of friendship, progress and adventure.
