  11. Oshawa Camera Club Membership Report

  12. Membership Report for 2012 / 2013 • Our “Wait List” exceeded 80 people. • The estimated time for joining would have taken over 5 years! • Study was undertaken to review attendance to see if anything could be done to improve the situation.

  13. Membership Report for 2012 / 2013 • A suggestion was made to increase our membership to 150: • Pros • Decrease the Wait List • Increase revenue in order to pay for speakers etc. • Cons • Better to maintain a small group of people with everyone knowing each other. • Could be a logistical nightmare for the Competitions Director to maintain and process additional entrants.

  14. Membership Report for 2012 / 2013 • Outcome • Based on the attendance records it was seen that we could handle the additional bodies – Around this time we were looking at about a 60% attendance. • Not everyone is submitting to the competitions and the percentile impact would not have an impact to the number of competition submissions. • The Executive, therefore, agreed to increase the membership to 125.

  15. Membership Report for 2012 / 2013 • The current membership status is as follows: • 121 Paid-up Members • 2 Life Time Members • The Wait List has now crept up to 60

  16. Membership Report for 2012 / 2013 • Tracking of membership attendance has continued, and up to our last April 10th meeting here are some numbers to consider: • Average Meeting Attendance 66 • Represents 56 % of Membership Attending • 25% Members absent 75 to 100 % of the time • 15% Members absent 50 to 74% of the time • 22% Members absent 25 to 49% of the time • 38% Members absent 0 to 24% of the time.

  17. Membership Report for 2012 / 2013 • As a result of these numbers the Executive have decided that unless there are special circumstances: • To revoke the Membership to anyone who has not attended a meeting up until December. • Membership fees will not be refundable. • Membership renewal invites will not be extended to anyone who has only attended 3 or fewer meetings during the year.

  18. Membership Report for 2012 / 2013 • Please wear your name tags at all meetings. • Attendance statistics are calculated based on the name tags still on the table at each meeting.

  21. GTCCC 2012/2013 I was pleased to represent OCC at this years GTCCC executive. This year has been an active one for the GTCCC. A new president, Harvey Rogers provided expertise and energy to the council. The Interclub Competition was well attended with an increase of 77% attendance over last year.

  22. GTCCC 2012/2013 Education Day a new GTCCC activity was a success out of the gate. Next year should be even better. I would encourage all members to consider this a must attend for next year.
