Convening a Whangarei Kart Club Meeting.
Helpful Hints from Dave Robbie - updated by The Webmaster
(1) Ring around early - it takes less time if it's a week from the next meeting than it does a couple of days before the meeting.
Most of the Race Officials also carry out their duties at other clubs as well as ours and also like to have an occasional
weekend away from karting. So plan to contact them early.
(2) Each Class of Kart will take turns to nominate someone to be the Convener of the upcoming meeting. There are over 40
members of our club so there should be no need to rely on only 2 or 3 to do this.
(3) You will notice that the same names come up over and over again in the following list. We need others to step up to the
plate. Please help if you can.
The following positions require people before a meeting can go ahead.
