Handing over the Reins
« on: May 06, 2008, 11:18:37 AM »
Well Folks

I mentioned briefly some time ago about Jeff and I going on a trip Downunder.   Well our plans have been going ahead and we're hoping to set off at the end of June.   We're just waiting to hear from the Australian Embassy about the 12-month Visas we've applied for - can't see any reason why they would not be granted, but we don't want to count our chickens.    One of many things that will have to go is my job as Webadmin for the Guild's site and thus this Forum.   I shall still be logging in whenever possible, if only to make sure that you are being VERY nice to my successor!!!   Glenys Chew has very kindly volunteered to take over from me and I think will do a good job as well as bring new ideas to both site and Forum.    Good luck and thankyou so much, Glenys!!

Thanks everybody for being such good sorts over the years - we hope to be able to meet up with a few of our Australian members, and mebbe even the New Zealand lot if we can extend our trip to those beautiful islands.

My very best wishes to you all

Lesley

Dear Lesley,

Thank you for all the hard work you've done up to now.  Between you and Mel the Forum is doing well, and although I do have some ideas about how it can play a greater part in the life of the IGKT, none of them would be possible without the foundation you built.

Enjoy the trip of a lifetime, and post us occasionally to say G'day!


Oh - I guess this applies to Webadmin as well as to Secretaries:

IT'S A HARD LIFE

If the Secretary writes tactfully, he's verbose;
If he is brief, he's tactless.
If he drafts a report, he's wrong;
If he doesn't, there's nothing to work on.
If he speaks to the Committee, he's butting in;
If he doesn't, he's useless.
If he sends a reminder, he's a pest;
If he doesn't he's slack.
If he asks for action, he's impertinent;
If he doesn't get things done, he's incompetent.
If the meeting's a success, it's the committee.
If it's a failure, the Secretary's to blame.
If he asks for instructions, he has no initiative;
If he doesn't, he's swollen-headed.  [or dictatorial :-P ]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust - if others won't do it,
The Secretary Must!


Regards,
Glenys
