This week Leigh has been taking another look at member draw software and there are a lot to choose from. Admittedly many are very basic, but he tested a few of the better offerings and one that stands out as having great features for the $$$ is Club Raffle.
Customer or debtor? Are we treating renewals and membership fees as an opportunity?
29 June 2022
The team at National Office have recently uncovered an audio recording from the Clubs New Zealand Conference and AGM, 1999. The audio is of a keynote presentation from Steve Parker, expert in marketing and associated matters, and a well established “clubby”. This wasn’t the first time Steve spoke at a Clubs New Zealand event and it certainly was not the last, but what is striking about this particular, 23-year-old piece of audio is that it is 100% relevant to clubs today.

In recent weeks we have been receiving a number of enquiries from both clubs and members regarding reciprocal rights. It is clear that some club employees do not understand the requirements of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 as it relates to reciprocal rights and there have been some embarrassing interactions that could have been avoided.
So with reciprocal visiting well and truly back in action now is a good time to revisit reciprocal rights.

Incorporated Societies Act 2022 - Update
29 April 2022
The new Incorporated Societies Act 2022 was signed into law on 5 April 2022. The 2022 Act replaces the Incorporated Societies Act 1908.
It has been great to see some Clubs already looking to update their constitutions and get the ball rolling.
Unfortunately after a 114 year wait, we may have to just wait a bit more. The regulations that relate to the new bill have not yet been drafted or approved, as these will have an effect on what may be required within new constitutions we advise to just hold tight at this stage.
