Introduction
As the National Councillor for Region 1 the Standing Orders define my responsibilities as:-
1) Seek to establish and maintain contact with Clubs in the Region for which he has been elected.
2) Encourage Clubs to arrange inter-club visits and joint functions.
3) Seek to identify and encourage the establishment of new Clubs in his Region and the affiliation of established Clubs presently outside the Association in liaison with the National Membership & Extension Officer.
4) Represent the interests on the National Council of the affiliated Clubs in his Region.
5) Submit a brief written factual report to the National Editor for inclusion in the National Magazine.
Nowhere does it state that I have to physically each club during any specific time period although it is understood that an attempt should be made to visit each Club during a term of office.
Scotland is geographically the largest region in the organisation, apart from Ireland and the difficulties associated with this structure are widely recognised. I shall now try to fulfil the Standing Orders by establishing a communications structure fit for the modern era, involving essentially those technologies associated with "the internet", websites, social media, email and continue with the Newsletter.
