GENERAL ANOUNCEMENT
Jez Fairclough
On Friday last, the Council accepted the resignation of the Vice-President, Dan Carroll.
The responsibility for membership issues will pass to the Secretary.
The responsibility for finance will pass to the President.
The GCN has been under pressure for some months due to the Council being effectively at half-strength and reliant on volunteers who have to balance the work they do for the GCN with the needs of family and work. Illness has also taken its toll.
We are now re-organising the administration, so that necessary tasks will be the responsibility of teams rather than individuals as this has caused problems with communication and quick action.
Please bear with us as we are currently going through the official correspondence of the Vice-President to catch up with enquiries and new memberships.
The GCN has many ambitions for the future, but these will remain aspirations without enough capable members standing on the Council. Currently of the eight positions on the Council, only four are filled. A Council member’s remit does require tact, patience and work, whether on administration, through social media or attending/organising events. We are especially eager to find a Treasurer able to handle both the GCN and GCN Limited accounts and a Regional Organiser with the experience and charisma to drive forward national and local GCN representation and activity.
If you want to get involved please contact myself the President at president@thegcn.net or the Media Manager at media@thegcn.net
For membership issues please contact the Secretary at secretary@thegcn.net
This is your GCN, please support the network.
Regards
David Wise
GCN President
