Forum Panel - New Members

[Bill Edwards]

Dear All

 

Due to losing Forum Panel Member's we are looking for two volunteers to join the existing Forum Panel.

 

The task will involve:

• Making yourself available for members to contact you should they wish to raise an issue
• Regularly accessing the private "Forum Panel" forum and contributing to the topics therein
• Commenting and voting on forum policy, features and rules
• Maintaining confidentiality of panel discussions and communications with others

 

Whilst there is no set minimum commitment, the panel works best if you are able to spend a few minutes a couple of times a week reading and contributing. If you are an infrequent visitor it is unlikely you will have enough of an input to justify a place on the panel. New members will be welcomed onto the panel for a period of 12 months - after that it is intended that the new members will be rotated to keep the panel fresh, give other members a chance to contribute and enable fresh ideas and perspectives to be given. The existing panel reserves the right to remove members who fail or who are unable to contribute regularly.

 

If you wish to volunteer, please reply to this topic, giving a brief resume and what you can bring to the panel. On Monday 18th September I will set up a poll giving members the chance to vote. The two members with the most votes will be welcomed onto the panel. If you are unsure if you can offer anything to the panel, please feel free to ask any of the existing members - they are listed on the "Staff" page on the link in the menu (http://www.fun-fairs.co.uk/staff/)

 

Many Thanks

 

Bill

I will gladly throw my hat into the ring

I know I have been an infrequent contributor upto this point but I am a long time lurker.

I only discovered this wonderful community a few years ago and most here are so much more knowledgeable than me about the subject matter, I just sit in the corner, listening and taking it all in with a huge smile on my face.

I am 38 years old, and did author and maintain an  Invision community upto recently and am very familiar with the backend software/admin panel and functions.

I am online most of the day, most days. I work from home working in the evenings so most daytimes I can be found somewhere on the internet.

I am from Nottingham so obviously, the Goose holds a special place in my heart. The other half does not "get it"... I have made sure my kids do though and also they understand the hard work it all is for the Showmen and they understand and respect the history of this glorious form of entertainment. I am a big pro wrestling fan and its roots can be traced back to the early carnivals.

For any community to grow and thrive, I think it needs to be honest, disciplined, welcoming but most of all, fun

Hi Bill

 

I would happily put myself up for the role of being a panel member. I thoroughly enjoy speeding time on the forum, and must say I use it daily getting lost amongst peoples photos, topics and discussions. 

 

I think I could bring a fresh pair of eyes to the role, who thinks I can put my view / opinion across diplomatically. I enjoy working with others and helping to solve things as well as giving input in how things can improve / change. I also think I can be quite an approachable person, who is always willing to listen and offer advice / help where I can. 

 

Also my enjoyment of fairs, and the community in both showman and enthusiasts goes without saying, and those who know me personally know of my commitment and enthusiasm I have, as well as my Facebook page which continues to go from strength to strength.  

 

Many Thanks
