Opportunity knocks for the right candidates
Hi everyone,
We need six Nominated Members to join the Club Council. The Council helps to shape the direction of the Club and conveys the views of the wider membership to the Executive Committee, which in effect is the Board of Directors. The Council meets twice a year, usually on a Saturday in spring and autumn, with the next meeting taking place on 6 April 2019. Nominated Members also have the potential to be selected to serve on the Executive or other Committees of the Club.
We are particularly interested in applications from members with expertise and experience in one or more of the following areas:
Automotive technical knowledge
Finance
Property and estates
Insurance
Travel
For more information about how the Club works, please visit explore the ‘About Us’ section. If you would like to apply, please submit your CV and a covering letter of no more than 200 words explaining why you would like to be considered by noon on Monday 18 February 2019 to the Head of Governance (governance@camc.com). Shortlisted candidates will be invited along to our Head Office in East Grinstead in March.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Absolutely, Kev. Those who dislike most things club related now have the chance to make a difference.👍🏻

I am all for people taking part as I am sure many of us do with groups and organisations nearer to where we live but unconnected with the Club. My slight concern is the listed requirements for the sort of people they are looking for as that could well put someone off who may well have a lot of experience of the Club but not in those specialities.

Might get more response if Club could confirm candidates will be paid expenses for travel, and if required overnight accommodation. Heck of a trek for some folks (Scotland, NE, NW, SW) to attend for interview and subsequent meetings. Apologies if it is made clear on application.

I think you need to be a member before you can be nominated, DD. 😉

Ah well, looks like you’ll be staying outwith the club then. 🥺

Of course the classic definition of a committee is a group of the unfit appointed by the unwilling to do the unnecessary.

If we only knew what this Council achieves then more of us might throw our hats in the ring. But we never see the minutes of Council meetings, or hear from Council members on this forum what decisions have been made - but in truth it isn't a decision making body is it. So would it be worth driving to East Grinstead just for a talking shop?

Err, you’ve told quite a lot about yourself, DD.

Err yes, for one you have no experience with awnings

True👍🏻, we know when he’s over there, where he eats, what he eats even what he pays for it, what jobs he’s done & where in the world. Geez that’s just for starters😱😱

Agree, it would be fantastic to get some Club Together members applying.

How would a handful of people convey the views of the wider membership unless the wider membership were consulted? In the past the club has never consulted members so why would they now start to listen to members now?

Rowena Could you confirm that The Clubs Bye-Law 2.3 (A person who is materially interested ,directly or indirectly ,in the caravan trade is not excluded from being a member but is not eligible for any executive position or for the membership of the clubs council) would include a CL owner & therefore prohibit them from being on The Club Council
