Think Craiglockhart had enough people to fill all the important rolls, but didn't have enough members to actually comply with CEC requirements for a council. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16042#post-211563 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 09:59:10 +0000 SRD 211563@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>1 meeting a month, not counting summer, christmas, some half-terms, so maybe 6-8 meetings a year? </p> <p>and a tonne of emails. you could always create a special account for this and just archive it all. </p> <p>often they will want people to take on special responsibility for a 'thing' - planning or licensing are the big ones, with committees and meetings that you can send people to, but I think you could both legitimately say you are (a) new and (b) busy and need to just be general members first.... </p> <p>then again, they almost always need help with websites and social media, which is a low time intensive, but important responsibility. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16042#post-211562 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 09:54:46 +0000 fimm 211562@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Don't <em>really</em> want to, if I am honest. I don't know what Boyfriend of Fimm would say, either!<br /> What would I be committing myself to? (That's assuming I'm elected... I think I'm right in saying there's an election?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16042#post-211544 Tue, 09 Feb 2016 22:29:42 +0000 daisydaisy 211544@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fimm, will you join too?
