Administration overload now
commonplace
As membership numbers increase so
too does the workload in maintaining accurate
records - particularly at subscriptions
renewal time.
Simple though it is, the current process
is very time-consuming and has reached
the point where alternative methods need
to be investigated.
All around the country associations
are having real difficulty in attracting new
faces to step into the shoes of long-serving
committee people and are very vulnerable
when experienced folk pass on.
For those few larger associations which
run offices and have part-time paid staff
the problem does not exist.
Many will be familiar with the system
Uniquely manufactured
PHYTOTHERAPY PRODUCTS
have wonderful healing properties
and are uniquely manufactured
from medicinal plants.
Take them along with our UltiMag
(which is the best product to take for allround
general health and wellbeing) for
specific areas of healing.
They are gentle on the body and have
no sideeffects as they are made up of all
natural ingredients.
As they treat the cause rather than the
symptoms they are thus more effective
and get to the root of your issues.
These are our Phytotherapy Products
(as shown below):
Phytodreams - Supports sleep and
mood balance.
Phytotravel - is made from ginger,
used by the Automobile Association which
long ago introduced permanent membership
cards for their members whose renewal
dates are staggered according to the
anniversary month they joined.
Grey Power already maintains a national
database from which new membership
cards could easily be produced and
suitably amended reminder notices could
be published in the quarterly magazine.
Subscription rates would be standardised
and associations could be funded
quarterly with capitation fees retained.
This process would obviate the need to
prepare schedules and remit capitation
fees regularly as is now the case. It would
also spread the Federation’s cashflow.
Whether or not the AA’s system is implemented
one thing is certain.
A change from the current archaic
method will eventually be forced upon us
which is well known for settling an upset
stomach, so it is good for travelers queasy
tummies.

and joint health.

Phytosistitus - made from cherry stalks
which have been traditionally used to
support the urinary system. Supports
fluid balance and urinary tract health.
Phytovarix - made from witch hazel
which is one of the most widely used
as the situation referred to in the second
paragraph worsens.
Graham Adams, WANGANUI.
Good points but association autonomy
prevents the federation from imposing
such a system. A remit to the AGM would
test the appetite of members for such an
improvement.

Can democratic capitalism
survive?
It has certainly proved to be the most
successful system of governance to date.

efficient and effective but unfortunately
the benevolent aspect has tended to wane
rapidly and the systems degenerate into
harsh regimes with little or no freedom.
Communism had its day but usually
had to be enforced on the people and then
failed to inspire or motivate the work ethic
necessary for successful development
and growth.
China may prove to be the wild card
