Members do need to know about important info that relates to them but majority is done on committee nights.

Last few meetings were good with guest speakers, Charlie janes and Dave sharpe, one before that at hunting and fishing Napier with the tatonka rep.

As above you get out what you put in,

I'll be touching base with Hastings to see how they do there meetings, if ours can be improved at. 15mins then a guest speaker seems ok, guys prob spend 15mins at a red light in Auckland traffic.

Interesting thread this one

We are the same committee meetings are open.
Guest speakers have been Dan Hardy, Davey Hughes so interesting but very hard to do every meeting.
