Hi,
One of the intriguing aspects of the discussion on the future of
WAMUG has been the responses coming from outside of Perth - I had
assumed that there were only one or two of us in the country, and
today I see we even have an overseas member! Living outside of Perth
makes it very hard to attend meetings - I would not relish a 2 hour
drive home at the end of the meeting - and I only have to get to
Bunbury!
I would echo the sentiments already expressed, namely that there is a
role for WAMUG in the future. It may not be the same as was
originally envisaged, but the sign of a healthy organisation is one
that changes with the times.
I think that it would help advance the cause if the discussion could
be more focused - I think that was where Ken Woods was heading with
his e-mail earlier this afternoon.
If I could be so bold, might I suggest that a questionnaire be
formulated so that responses could be more easily collated and
therefore provide clearer direction? The questionnaire would have to
be carefully developed - input from someone with experience/expertise
would be an asset. The questions would hopefully create a better
understanding of what people appreciate with the present set up as
well as ideas for future directions.
Could the existing leadership delegate the task of creating the
questionnaire to a group of "learned persons"? From what I can
gather, the existing leadership has been doing most of the hard yards
of late and would welcome some assistance with this task. While not
suggesting for a moment that I am a "learned person", I would be
willing to assist. One can't put forward an idea that involves time
and energy, if one is not willing to contribute.
