Wait, before we embark on creating a website .... maybe slow down a bit.

Ok, as a moderator here on Canreef, I can't be impartial to this, but here are my thoughts.

I appreciate the buy-in that everyone has, but we've talked about formalizing on several occasions in the past, and it hasn't happened yet. I really do think we're getting ahead of ourselves here.

I want everyone to ask themselves, what does a website give you that we don't already have on Canreef. You have to ask yourself what it is that you'll get out of a formalized club, what specific needs are not being met right now, that would be by a club.

Creating the tangibles before we have taken the step of creating and registering the club, with bylaws, and directors, and etc., will encourage fractionization down the road.

It's great to see this movement afoot, but I think people forget just how much work it is to keep a society running. I'm sorry but I don't know if we've really yet hit critical mass for this to become a sustainable reality.

My suggestion is that we do have another meeting where we can table this agenda, and put forth an action plan, with specific tasks delegated to specific individuals.

I'm sorry if I sound like a downer, but if we do this then we should do it right. If it's time for another meeting, then let's have another meeting.
