Not asking for much then !!

My day job is about project managing, building rapport with people & good PR so that's not an issue. (& I speak English, just with a Norfolk accent!)
I've spent over 5 years building my dream mopar.

You're right Mossy I know every inch of my car but I'm not great with others.

Easy, tiger! Remember I said "Job Share!" I'm lacking the Mopar knowledge, last thing we need in the club is a chairman that gets a dart & barracuda mixed up!

Right. Come on chaps.
I think Sinny could be our new leader

Sinny. Stop worrying about knowledge.
As Ivor said he has some one lined up in a years time so give it a shot.
If you don't like it after a year hand it over.
If we all love you the sky's the limit

At the end of the day I'm going to miss having Ivor as top dog. He has been fantastic for the club in all ways. I never thought he'd abdicate his reign !!
But unfortunately he has so a new leader must be elected.
Sinny fits the bill in my mind on his own but as a club we can all muck in ?
I have always offered help with the stand etc if I'm available to do so.
It's not often we fail to help other members out is it !
So. If you fancy a shot Sinny I'm sure you won't be left pulling your hair out with worry.

We are the MMA .

Thanks Mossy. I'm still not convinced I can do this on my own with my limited knowledge, a job share would be a safer bet! (Any offers????)

I'll have a chat with Ivor as I want to know more about the role.

What do others think?

Sinny...youve got my vote matey...and dont do yourself down...Ive read loads of threads where you have offered great advice and support to others. No one expects you to know it all (only Ivor can do that

).

Give it a go, you will murder it mate

Well it would be if I was Chairman because everybody else would leave the club!

That sounds familiar Dave

It looks like a new Chairman is coming through....
Well done Sinny you have my vote and support.

I know the difference between a Dart and a Barracuda!!
(one you throw and the other is a fish)

seriously though we are all here to help and do whatever it takes to make members happy.

And what I have seen from this club in the short time I have been a member is that MMA is the best run club by miles.

What has Shaun (Sinny) let himself in for?

If the job spec doesn't scare him off, we could be heading in the right direction...watch this space!

goodness

i see my name has been mentioned

thanks for the support fellas but i'm kinda snowed under all the time

out the house 12 hours a day at the mo. and do you really think a guy who takes 7 years to build a motor is organised enough to do the job

once the kids are bigger and i have a more sensible work life balance i might be a useful member who can take on some responsibility

at the mo. it just hard work to get a matching pair of socks on before the train leaves.

all other candidates go for it....

Don't put yourself down Sinny, you probably know more than you think. If you have the time to dedicate to the role, give it a go. As Ivor and others have said there is plenty of help out there and the opportunity to meet some interesting people. Go for it mate.

I don't think a huge knowlege of mopars is that important for this role. The resource at your disposal that has that knowlege and experience is the membership itself.

You should be able to call on local area reps to help as well as the other members of the committee. Think of the club as a multi skilled team you are managing and you should be fine.
