Dear Z family,
There has been some excellent discussion and feedback on the club and our evolution.
I'd like to volunteer to invest some time and energy in taking some steps to collate and support our thinking to ultimately drive prioritisation and next actions.
You will all agree that our club / forum has a fantastically experienced, diverse and good humoured group of members as well as some solid foundations / history. Where it moves forward from here is up to us both in terms of will and skill.
The club does some things very well and would be even better if it did some things differently or tried some new things.
Clearly we won't be able to affect change overnight and may not even be able to address all the feedback, but EVERY opinion, EVERY bit of constructive feedback matters. It's cheesy but so true: no matter what the club is, your perception is your reality.
To that end I want to hear from all of you and about everything that you feel you'd like addressed and even better if you have a view on how. All constructive feedback is welcome.
Tell us what we do well and should continue doing, what we should do differently or more of, what new things we should do.
In your feedback, it may be useful to think along the dimensions of (but not restricted to):
Over the next 4 weeks, I will collect your thoughts / feedback into a logical structure where we can identify quick wins and the longer term higher effort things. We can then agree how best to action. I will also collect the feedback from the existing thread on this.

5 simple but highly important principles:
1. BE FACTUAL: let's keep it respectful and not allow it to get personal. Emotions run high and dilute facts. But facts are indisputable and can lead to action.
2. BE OPEN & CONSTRUCTIVE: No matter what you have to say, if it improves the club, let's hear it, no matter how small or big you feel it is. If you have something sensitive to say or don't want to speak publicly, PM me. I won't bite, hard!
3. STAY ON TRACK: Let's not wonder off into the tyre wall of random discussions, lets take this opportunity to really focus on improving our club.
4. NO BICKERING: Sincerely, please no hand bag swinging antics!!! Just 15 paces and single shot pistols at dawn like true gentlemen!
5. TAKE THE 5th AMENDMENT: If you find yourself typing something that is not constructive then please take a step back and a vow of silence for the moment to rethink it. Equally if something is written that you disagree with, don't attack / challenge it, let people have their say without fear of retribution.
THE SMALL PRINT: I totally reserve the right to edit / delete posts on this thread that don't respect the above guidelines or the spirit of the thread.
