Dear Area/Province Secretary,
The Areas Standing Committee Review Group was asked by the RCCC Board to review the ‘Areas’ structure to determine how best to serve the grassroots curling membership.
As part of this review, the group would like to request Areas and Provinces to include an item on their AGM agendas to discuss the current Areas structure, report on how they believe it is working in their Area and to make recommendations on how it could be improved.
The RCCC wishes to ensure that there is a good two-way flow of information to and from its members. It may be that some Areas, as they are currently defined geographically, don't sufficiently correspond with the locations at which members curl and most readily socialise.
The Review Group would like you to put the following questions to the meeting for discussion:-
- How successful is your Area/Province at promoting curling?
- What changes in the way that your Area/province operates would help to promote curling?
- To what extent do you feel that your current Area boundary is ‘the best it could be’?
- What changes, if any, in your Area boundary would help to promote curling locally?
- What activities not currently undertaken by your Area/Province would help to promote curling to existing and new curlers?
- Do you have any other comments you wish to make to the group to help in its deliberations?
Thank you in advance for your co-operation in this important review and I look forward to receiving the views of your members.
If you could let me have this information by Friday 24
th April, that would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Clive Thomson
Review Group Chairman
