The Mid South Coast Zone Annual General Meeting concluded on a sombre note on Monday 26th May after confirmation there were no nominations for the position of Zone Co-ordinator. LANSW CEO, Kerry O'Keefe, was in attendance and stressed that should the Mid South Coast Zone be unable to appoint a Zone Co-ordinator within twelve (12) months the Zone would be disbanded and cease to exist.
She emphasised the important role played by the Zone Co-ordinator, not only at Centre level, but as a conduit between Centres and LANSW. In doing so she requested the delegates in attendance to go back to their respective Centres and ascertain if anyone had the slightest inkling of interest in becoming Zone Co-ordinator.
Kerry also suggested that some of the duties historically performed by the Zone Co-ordinator could be designated to other personnel within the Zone. This would effectively reduce the Zone Co-ordinators work load and give others the opportunity to be actively involved in the running of the Zone. For example it would be beneficial to appoint an Officer For Officials, Equipment Officer and Information Technology support.
Due to the lack of a Zone Co-ordinator LANSW will assume responsibility for the conduct of the Mid South Coast Zone Championships for the 2014/2015 season. As such a suitable person will be appointed Carnival Manager. Future Zone communications from LANSW will be via email. Regular Zone meetings will cease and any future Zone meetings will be scheduled by LANSW on an as required basis.
In closing Kerry reiterated that should the Mid South Coast Zone be unable to appoint a Zone Co-ordinator within twelve (12) months the Zone would be disbanded and cease to exist.
