AGM

[Denny Crane]

The below is from the NFNL web. My questions to the BF community is:

1. Does your Club engage with supporters/members at clubs AGMs or at other times on how the NFNL is being run?
2. Are the NFNL rules that only Prez and Sec from Clubs can attend make them unaccountable to regular punters that actually may be either able to help or have good ideas?
3. Does the NFL partners expo sound like a junket? Is it worthwhile?

From NFNL website (well NFL website until (if) the wake up and change it...)

1. While I can't answer for all clubs, I'm sure members provide suggestions to their President and other executive committee members. Clubs should discuss issues raised and pass on what they see as relevant to the NFL staff and board. In my experience most clubs focus on club issues and not league issues.

2. Yes the rules state only President or particular representative is allowed to go to NFL meetings. This ensures that meetings are not filled will club issues or issues that can be solved by your club representatives. No one wants to attend a meeting that goes on for hours about issues that are not league based.

3. The NFL partners expo is very worth while, its a time where clubs can talk to suppliers for the up and coming season. This is open to anyone (I think) so if the Pre or Sec what to bring other committee members they can.

Nothing like an Expo to plan for a season already gone (2017)
