Thread: A question for NZDA members

Unforturely like alot of clubs etc they need people on the ground to do the actual work and run things. We all want the NZDA to be more pro-active and interesting but no ones putting their hands up to run stuff and lead the way forward. The öld boys"" have been doing it along time and giving their time but some of them are just getting tired, behind the times or just dont have the time as they once did at the same time receiving negative feed back because they not doing enough which clearly has a overall negative effect.
HQ has alot to answer for, spending too much time with the GAC and sucking up to the Govt and Doc without acheiving that much while the NZDA clubs are left to defend for themselves.
People need to go along to their meetings, voice their opinion and lead a helping hand out once in awhile to make it far better than it is now. Joining the NZDA has its benifits, but if you want to be a lazy bastard and have every done for you and complain as soon as its not and rubbish it or not make a effort to connect to members once in awhile you part of its downfall and you only have yourselve to blame.
NZDA at a Head office needs to get it shit together thou, its letting the team down playing politics but at club level you can make a difference .
Just turning up and being postive for a start is a good way to start the year and go from there
