My Experience and Profile
Long experience with golf club governance and management doesn't always combine with new ideas and the ability to implement them. Over the last few years I have restructered the subscriptions including age and gender issues, successfully applied for CASC, proposed and implemented changes to governance, re-written articles and memorandum as necessary while constructing the special resolutions for the meetings.
The fun bit has been presenting these changes at AGMs, EGMs and Forums and dealing with questions from the floor. Fortunately, part of my day job has involved chairing and speaking at conferences plus sitting on Government advisory committees so Golf Club AGMs are not quite so intimidating! Other part of my work in the training and further education sector has included recruitment, writing job-specs and interviewing up to and including chief exec level. The training part has necessitated knowledge of apprenticeships and the component qualifications.
Marketing and marketing ideas are my special areas especially relating to recruiting members.
I am still a director and treasurer of a successful, fairly substantial club in NW England.
Costs and Fees
Moving into semi-retirement removes some of the necessity for hard earnings at high day-rates but does mean that exploratory discussions and meetings can be tackled over the phone or on basic travel expenses to make them cost effective. Give me a call - a lot of my thoughts come free of charge!
