Tim,
I heartily agree.
I assume that there will be a players meeting at each half-yearly major event. I thought the one at Cairnlea went very well, and I'm pleased to see that ACA has adopted most of the suggestions made.
I also thought Trevor ran the meeting very well : if he is prepared to do it in Brisbane then I vote for him by e-mail now.
Perhaps at the end of each meeting we could elect a chair for the following one?
It is certainly better to have a chair who is prepared to be organised and who has a list of topics in mind than to elect someone from the floor : that is a recipe for a rambling disorganised meeting.
Look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks.
Mike Hughes

To make the players meetings as constructive and productive as possible I think it would be a good idea for us to use this forum to discuss matters prior to Players Meeting in Brisbane and all future players meetings.To get the ball rolling here's a topic for discussion:At the Brisbane Players Meeting we elect a chair be elected for the next players meeting. I think electing a chair before the meeting allows that person to be properly prepared for the meeting. Hopefully this will allow the meeting to proceed in more constructive and productive way than a chair being elected on the spot.Comments?Tim
