Re: For Information

 

Hi One an all
?I would be extreemly upset to see young people removed or have restricted access to the club, and as an RSGB affliated club this would be something society would be very adverse to as it would go against all we are trying to do to grow the hobby.
?
?when I joined i was 11, you can now do the foundation at any age, so in reality there should be no minimum age for membership.
?
?do not get yourself tied up in child protection issues, they are not a problem and since the relaxtion in the requirements by the safeguarding authority should not be a worry to you.
?
?In fact if anything all club should be activly trying to recrute younger members, after all they are very useful at climbing and putting up antennas!
?
?I know many parents wont stay wiht their YP, and think about it if you are a 13/14 year old and you want to go an get involved in a club, would you want your mum or dad hanging around with you?
?
I know I?dont attend the club on evenings, but I pay my membership as when my kids have grown up, there will still be an active club for me to come back to, and I an fully involved with the scouts at this stage of my life.
?
?regards Paul G0AXQ

The Club Has always Previously welcomed Children as members but insisted that they have a parent or guardian with them.

Hi Goeff,
as i was a member of this club at age 12, i am biased! I was allways made welcome at that age and not thrown out untill at the age of 22 i did a thing for which i could not be forgiven.... I aquired a B LICENSE (I still have it)!!!!!
Despite this i feel compelled to offer the same oppertunity to others that was offered to me, and if i don't i will feel a fraud!

I feel that this will have to be put to the membership, and if they decide then i will stand by them. If they decide that youth are not welcome I will feel that they have changed the spirit of the club, but that is their right!

I hope i do not offend too many people with this attitude, this is not something i am doing to annoy people ( i save that for Ian Hope & Terry), it is just that i wil allways feel that you should do unto others as you would expect them to do to you (unless they are bankers, Planning Officers or MPs).

Enough ranting, over to the membership!

Dear Trevor, Howard and Keith,

Following on from what Trevor mentioned last week about allowing a 6 & 12-year old into the club, we need a decision about this quite quickly. I am uncertain if we have a minimum age in our constitution, in which case this will be self-evident, but if not then we need to sort this out now.

Personally speaking, given today's difficult situation regarding child-protection, and bearing in mind that apart from Helen, Ian's XYL (of sorts), we are a bunch of mainly retired-elderly grumpy old men, and I think it will be dangerous to allow kids of that age into the hut. Not only that, but many of the members might stop coming if the hut becomes a child-minders every Friday night; we are not the Cubs or the Scouts, and I feel we should stipulate a minimum age of 16. If we can't reach agreement, then we should ask the members – I think they would not want children around any more than I do.
I have enhanced CRB disclosure for my church duties, but I try not to get involved with youngsters of that age unless I really need to, and even then I make sure I'm never alone; we live in different times to our past, and I think it's hassle we could do without. The MARTS do take 16 year-olds, but they insist they always have one of their parents with them, and we must do the same for the sake of everyone at the club.

Can you reply ASAP please; we need agreement on this before they suddenly turn up one evening. Keith DRM said he thought that 6 was far too young for many reasons, but we could possibly accept the 12 year-old if we felt happy as a group, but ideally they should be a little older.

Dear members,

This is an important message from your favourite Treasurer; our annual subscription fee is now due for this year, and I would be very grateful if those who have not yet paid could please do so within the next 2 weeks – it’s only ?10 - I noticed at the BRATT’S rally last Sunday that their membership is ?35!!? So far we have 24 members who have paid, which is good, so thank you to those concerned.
I will not be at the club this Monday, but if you wish you can give your money to Brian 2E0LAH, who will kindly record it and hand it to me the following week at the junk sale! Keith 2E0KJA has very kindly offered to encapsulate the membership cards, so I would naturally rather he could do them all in one go; thanks for this Keith – much appreciated!

Re: Region 12 DRM Visit

 


Hello Trevor, I very much enjoyed coming along last night and meeting?many of the MYARS members, and I appreciated the thought you had all put into your questions, which fitted well with many of the areas I have seen to be of interest or concern?to amateurs.
?
I am sorry that time overran and apologise if this caused anyone difficulties, but I was pleased to have the open discussion and sharing of ideas which I feel was very positive.
?
I will be following up on the points I took away and will get back over the coming days with a response to these, which you can then share with the members. If their are any issues that come up anytime that members or the club want to share then please let me know and I will try to assist.
?
Thanks to all for a very enjoyable evening and I will drop in again later this year for a less formal meeting with the members.
?
Best 73 to all at MYARS
?
Keith
