CHAIRPERSON REPORT 2015
THE LAST 12 MONTHS IN BOBSC HAS SEEN LITTLE OR NO CHANGE TO THE PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS, GALAS HAVE BEEN ORGANISED , TIME TRIALS ARRANGED AND ALL THE OTHER MULTITUDE OF TASKS THAT MAKE A SWIMMING CLUB HAVE HAPPENED. UNFORTUNATELY ALL THESE TASKS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED BY THE SAME TIRED PEOPLE , WITH LITTLE OR NO HELP FROM OUTSIDE THE COMMITTEE. THE RESULT OF THIS OVER WORK HAS MADE THE COMMITTEE VERY SHORT SIGHTED, THEY ARE TOO BUSY DOING TODAYS WORK RATHER THAN PLANNING TOMORROWS.
ALL THE ROLES ON THE COMMITTEE ARE OF EQUAL RESPONSIBILTY AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY EASY OPTIONS, IF YOU ARE DOING THE JOB TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY. SOME ROLES ARE MORE PUBLIC THAN OTHERS BUT ALL ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS EACH OTHER. THE ONE ROLE ON THE COMMITTEE THAT NEVER RECIEVES ANY THANKS IS FUND RAISER , AS THEY ONLY GET CRITICISED FOR NOT RAISING ENOUGH FUNDS.
WHY DO WE FUND RAISE? THE ANSWER IS EASY WE FUND RAISE TO SUBSIDISE THE FEES OF THE WHOLE CLUB AND ALSO TO GIVE US SOME SPARE MONEY TO SPEND ON THE SWIMMERS. SELECTION BOXES AND EASTER EGGS ARE EXAMPLES OF THIS, BUT SOMETIMES WE MAY PIGEON WHOLE SOME FUNDS FOR A SPECIFIC CAUSE. AS A CLUB WE ASK OUR MEMBERS 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR TO HELP OUT AT VARIOUS EVENTS , ALL OF WHICH ARE INTENDED TO RAISE FUNDS FOR OUR CLUB AND OUR SWIMMERS. ONE SIMPLE WAY TO RAISE FUNDS IS BY SELLING RAFFLE TICKETS. TWICE A YEAR WE ASK OUR MEMBERS TO SELL SOME RAFFLE TICKETS ON BEHALF OF OUR CLUB. THIS IS AN EASY WAY TO EARN MONEY FOR OUR CLUB. WE DON'T EXCPECT OUR MEMBERS TO BUY THE TICKETS JUST BE A LITTLE ANNOYING AND SELL THEM TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY. AT THE LAST SUMMER SIZZLER 82 SETS OF RAFFLE TICKETS WERE HANDED OUT. THIS COULD HAVE EARNED OUR CLUB AT LEAST £820. IN REALITY THE FIGURE IS A LOT LESS. ONLY 30 FAMILIES BOTHERED TO SELL ANY RAFFLE TICKETS AT ALL, WITH 2 FAMILIES RETURNING ALL THEIR TICKETS AS THEY WOULD RATHER NOT HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR OUR CLUB. IN SHORT YOU CANNOT HELP PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT HELP THEMSELVES.
OVERALL THE MEMBERS OF BOBSC SHOULD BE PROUD TO BE PART OF BOBSC AND THE COMMITTEE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS.
KIND REGARDS
N. Mawby.
