The following are the steps to be followed for someone wishing to organize a Club event.
-
Identify type of event
-
Trailride
-
Rally (Rallies require prior Board approval)
-
Social
-
Should the event require some type of funding from the club (such as in the set up of a rally) this should be requested in time for the Board to consider it at a regularly schedule Board meeting prior to any money being spent.
-
Set date and Location ensuring that any permits or permission, if required, is obtained.
-
Advise
a. Events Coordinator: Robert Harris
b. Insurance Coordinator and make arrangements to get insurance waivers (if a vehicular event): Peter Langer
c. Webmaster: John Thomas
-
Submit Article for newsletter with the details of the event (date, time, meeting place, length of event, lunch required)
-
If any equipment is required, check with the Quartermaster (Bob Boland) for availability.
-
The day of the event:
a. Ensure that everyone signs insurance waivers (vehicular event) or an attendance sheet (social event).
b. Conduct a driver’s meeting prior to departure- where we are going, CB channel etc.
c. Try to solicit someone who attends the event to commit to writing an article for the newsletter.
d. Ask anyone who takes pictures at the event to copy them onto a CD for the next Club meeting and ask if the Club could keep them for the year-end slide show.
-
After the event:
a. Submit insurance waivers/attendance sheets to the Membership Secretary (Julia Thomas).
b. Submit all monies and receipts to the Treasurer, in the form received within 30 days of the event.
9. We are also now required to use a separate waiver for minors and our past practice of having the parent of the minor sign the event waiver is no longer acceptable.
