CHITON STRATEGIC PLANNING MEETING
The management committee are holding a strategic planning meeting next Saturday 3rd January 2015 from 10am-12.30pm.
You are invited as you have taken on a role at the club or shown interest in this side of things previously.  Please see attached our previous strategic plan (on members resources page) that will be used as a guideline for a new and updated version.  Please read through this before the day and have some ideas to bring on the day to ensure the meeting is as efficient as possible (or even better send them through beforehand).
I think these things can get more complicated than they need to be sometimes so I think we need to keep it simple with clear goals and ways of achieving them. If anyone can get their hands on a template or experience with these sort of things please let me know.
If you are unable to make it on the day, your input between now and then would be appreciated and I envisage it will take more than just this one meeting to come up with the final document so there will be further opportunities.  RSVP would be appreciated so we know how many are coming.
