One of the problems we have with membership is that there's little we can offer as benefit. That's OK in many ways, because I guess many members pay their five quid as a way of supporting WMUK, in the same way as they do other charirties, rather than for what it gives them in return.
Nevertheless, it does make it a bit harder to sell the idea of joining a committee to a volunteer who is not yet a member, if they have to pay £5 as a pre-requisite for giving up yet more of their time. Personally I think the idea of open and flexible membership of committees should imply that we don't insist on membership of the charity to take part in a non-board committee meeting. We can always suggest that they become a member after we've got them working. I do agree though, that anyone serving on a Board sub-committee like ARC should be a member of the charity - I see those as quite distinct from the non-board committees (whatever we eventually decide to call those). -- Rexx On 6 June 2015 at 14:14, Gordon Joly <[email protected]> wrote: > On 06/06/15 14:08, Michael Maggs wrote: > > The change in the articles will not require membership as a condition of > > serving on a board committee, so it will depend on what policies we > > set.
