OBSERVATIONSExplode the myth – that women
have to be inducted as a groupIts been proven that enthusiastic
leadership can change a club eg Wanaka, Wellington –all driven by
a small group of enthusiastsSocial programme is the GLUE that
binds a club together

Have variety and surprises – not the same old stodgeRound dinner tables proved better
than rectangle- some clubs remove top table
Review Sergeants session – watch for sexist remarks
- beware of “in house jokes” – new members may feel excluded
- define time limit – maybe a “Happy Dollar” session
is better
