Hmm, it's not often I see my name linked with interesting. I always thought that my Thai Outlaws called me Steve Davis (pronounced Sateep Dayvit) because my first name is Steve but recently I've come to the conclusion that it's because I like to discuss the more mundane things in life (anyone up for discussing the merits of systems engineering methodology?).

Must be time for bed, is my cocoa ready, Mummy?

Moving back on topic, you'd need a committee to run a Social Club and adhere all the guff related to constitutions etc. Are you chaps really up for all that? Remember that some of you have come to LOS to escape all that mind numbing Farang bureaucracy.

accepted, but bloody ell, there's only so much ' can eat som tam now - good for you ' - I can take !!
and vice versa - ' ere' remember that time' we took the shed ' - fucksakes!! a bit of civillaty woudn't go a miss !! - oh well never mind,- I dont suppose I am ever going to explain to my Father in law -the decline ot the British economy!!

i notice committee,and membership puts lot of people off,idea of committee is to share ideas,and relate to varied interests,rather than 1 person,which other venues have,and membership is purley to stop the type of people you would not enjoy in your company,from comming to the club.

fredy and what type of people would they be please explain your self

trouble makers

thats the good thing about membership,people who look for trouble,dont get in or have membership taken away,i,m sure some of you have seen some go round bars cant handle their drink,and start argument on innocent bystanders,i know i have.

I agree Fredy, if you're going to have a 'club' you need 1. members (I came herre to retire and don't really feel the need to join any more groups), 2. a committee to organize things and determine projects (I can foresee a number of areas where this could lead to many disagreements) and 3. if you're going to have projects, you'll also need to pay for them which means 'dues' (now we need to have someone we can trust to take care of the funds and someone else we can trust to be the auditor). No, I can see this going downhill fast.

good answer but one has to be a member before he can become a troublemaker
being opinated could label you as a trouble maker to some that why bylaws are written
& only when you violate a by law you get suspended after so many suspension or serous
infraction you then get expelled from the organization but one must remember you are not going to like or be liked by all the members so what does that leave you pick & choose only those you like and leave out the rest

i think there's plenty of good people out there who have time on their hands to be one of the 5 on committee,and give them an added interest ,you never know may suit you to be one of them,personally i would be happy to help out,or be just as happy being a member of a club with sense of belonging,and maybe join in some of the activities,sports or social,and enjoy the chat and drink with other members.

when you deal in alcoholic beverages you open the door for problems also like Pak said you need to have honest people in control of the funds i am sure 99% of us would qualify to hold the funds. I also know that some will use the club for a place to hang there hat which is not a problem and some will seldom show up but since many of the people I consider my friends will not join so it would be of no interest to me to be a member

1 person does not pick and choose,who losses their membership,you have a group saying on this,so less chance of being biased,and its got to be bad to have at least 5 people saying,a certain member is a problem to other members,hopefully it might not arise,i found in clubs i,ve belonged to in the past, never seen any trouble and not known anyone loose their membership,so maybe we are looking at the worst scenario
