MNZ board nominations

[budda]

Come on, Come on - get back into it would you .... fair ITCHING to get stuck into some of the completely deliberate msirepresentations and total untruths previously posted in this thread, but cant bring myself to re-read the sheer volume of shite to quote accurately. REALLY want to use the old Erebus quote, "an Orchestrated Litany of LIES" before we get to the end of this page ...........

I also wonder whether the chow has considered the enormity of the job regarding a bi monthly newsletter to 5500 members covering seven disciplines???

I was talking to Chow-man, he's aware of the size of the job.
It needs a head honcho and input from people throughout the disciplines, not hard to copy and paste emails from people throughout the disciplines, and mailing should be via email and snail mail, which should be manageable.
Where it will fall over is from apathy; from the wider people who are within their own parts of the sport that won't keep up with input to said newletter.
I'm in for contributing something, best put a PGR rating on it - Probably gets Rude!

IMO there are three topics that are very worthy of being underlined:

1 - i think the minutes of all board meetings should be posted on the website,

2 - (The MNZ website) needs to stop trying to be a news site as well

3 - any dicipline action should be posted on there as well

The point of spending money on a website is to convey information that is relative to and for the benefit of the entity(Commercial or organisation) that commissions the website. The MNZ News is replicated and readily available for those who want it and for that matter an abundance of M/Cycle sport internet news available.

As Scott alluded – MNZ needs to think about what the Website can do for its financial backers. The MNZ membership. They don't need to be entertained - they need to be 'informed'.

Yes absolutely agree,I have mentioned too the current admin that the information regarding clubs and officials needs to be condensed so its easier to access,BUT how many members actually bother to even look??Most just seem intent on getting on the internet and rubbishing MNZ when they dont get a reply too an email,Maybe if the site was better arranged and members actually bothered to try and find the information things would work more smoothly,Not suggesting in anyway that MNZ arent in some way at fault,But communication is a 2 way street.

Dunno about condensing the MNZ website, it's not hard to find your way around, most people just can't be fucked. They'd rather come on here and ask a bunch of armchair experts and sift through answers varying from the sublime to the ridiculous.

It's one option but I'm thinking that we should be looking at ways to improve communication and information presentation.

Another option would be to make the MNZ site more of a "one stop shop", with forums, regs, results, timing, events etc all incorporated. It would beat the hell out of logging on to several sites to see lap timing, upcoming events, rules, discussions etc.

Give people a reason to go there and they'll interact with it, and it will become an asset, not just a last resort.

As an example: the upcoming Road Race Riders forum. How limiting is it to require anybody inetersted to travel all the way to Palmerston North? The same thing could be happening online on a continual basis, with virtually instant feedback and more chance of making more people happier more of the time. Surely it would have to be more efficient? As it is a handful of people have to pretty much make an educated guess at what is going to work best for it's members.

I'm thinking that the technology exists for instant online communication and it should be exploited, not minimised. It's not about 'entertainment' per se, it's about information and interaction, and if it's presented/organised in the right way the more the better.

Just who do you think you are????

Coming on this site with good ideas that make perfect sense and not accuse anybody of lying or assault or call them names when your not believed?

Yes Spud,
Some awesome ideas there,I'll print it off and take it along to the AGM for discussion.
