| Procedures for all events |
Procedure for all Events including Getaways and Caravan & Cabin Approval to Proceed No event can be advertised without the formal approval of the Committee or the Executive group. To get this approval, the Convenor must provide the following information to the Committee. • Details of the event including where it is going • Proposed date(s) and time • Approximate cost/person • Date deposit due • Final payment date • Minimum and maximum attendee numbers if applicable • If the Convenor believes the event should be open to people that are not members of our Probus club, they should provide the reasons for this • Any other details that may be relevant Depending on the minimum attendee number, it may be that the Committee asks the members for an “expression of interest” before giving approval. Once approval has been given, the event can be advertised within the club. Publicity & Booking Once approval has been received, the event should be mentioned at the next general meeting of the club. Details should be in the newsletter published a few days before that meeting, and then on the website after the meeting. To book into an event, a member can either put their name on a booking sheet at a meeting, contact the Convenor via phone or email, or pay the appropriate money via internet banking into the club’s bank account. If an event has an advertised maximum number and more than this number wish to participate, then priority will be given to those who pay first. Due Date, No refund Date Every event must have a date by which payment must be made. Payments after this date will only be accepted with the permission of the Convenor. Every event will also have a date after which no refunds will be given. Normally this “no refund date” will be the date when the club becomes liable to pay money to a third party for that event. Attendance of people who are not members of the Forresters Beach Probus Club Initially events should only be open to members of our Probus club, and should not be made available to other people without the Committee’s permission. There are 4 circumstances under which the Committee will approve other people taking part 1. If there is a last minute cancellation by someone and the Convenor is trying to fill the spot. 2. If a person is interested in joining the club and would like to come to the event to help them decide if they should join. People fitting into this category can only attend 2 events before they join, and the maximum number of potential members attending any single event will be determined by the Convenor. 3. If the Committee agrees that the event should be opened up to other Probus clubs. In this case, it can be advertised with other clubs but only after our members have been given sufficient time to book in. 4. If the Committee agrees the event can be opened up to non-Probus members. Once again, this can only happen after our members have been given sufficient time to book in AND the minimum number for the event hasn’t yet been reached. If a non-member of our club is attending an event, when they book they must fill out an information form giving their name, address, contact phone number, email address, an emergency contact phone number, and Probus Club name if other than FBPC. This must be given to the Convenor when they book into the event. The form will clearly state that if the person is not a member of a Probus club, then they will not be covered by Probus South Pacific’s insurance scheme. If the event is opened up to other Probus clubs, then the Treasurer of each of those Probus clubs is responsible for collecting the money from their members and forwarding it to the Treasurer of our club. Refunds will happen in the same way. Note that people who used to be members of our club but have resigned, will be treated in the same way as all other non-members in relation to the above. |
