Your Club This may be of interest to those who wish to hinder the workings of their club.In all walks of life, there are some people whowill always find fault with the working of their club.They are generally the first to criticise but the last to join.However, for their guidance we publish the following.; Don't come to the meetings. But if you do come, come late. If you do attend a meeting, find fault with the work of the officers and the other members. Never accept an office as it is easier to criticise than do things. Nevertheless, get sore if you are not appointed on the committee, but if you are do not attend committee meetings. If asked by your chairman if you have anything to contribute to an important decision, tell him you have nothing to say. After the meeting tell everyone how things should have being done. Do nothing more than is absolutely necessary, but when other members roll up their sleeves and willingly, unselfishly use their abilityto help matters along, howl that the association is run by a clique. Hold back your dues as long as possible or don't pay at all. Don't bother getting new members, let the secretary do it. When a dinner is being organised, tell everyone money is being wasted on blow-outs which make a big noise and accomplish nothing. When no dinner is being organised, say the club is dead and needs a good kick in the butt. Don't tell the club how it can help you, but if it doesn't help you, resign. Keep your eye open for something wrong and when you find it, resign. At every opportunity threaten to resign and get your friends to resign to if you have any. When you attend a meeting, vote to do something and then go home and do the opposite. Agree to everything said at the meetings and disagree with it outside. When asked for information, don't give it. Cuss the club for the incompleteness of its information. When all else fails, cuss and blame the secretary. |
