Membership Report
![Page 14: Oshawa Camera Club Annual General Meeting May 21, 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/55166e7e550346a2698b56f2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Membership Report for 2012 / 2013
• Our “Wait List” exceeded 80 people.
• The estimated time for joining would have taken over 5
years!
• Study was undertaken to review attendance to see if
anything could be done to improve the situation.
![Page 15: Oshawa Camera Club Annual General Meeting May 21, 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/55166e7e550346a2698b56f2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Membership Report for 2012 / 2013
• A suggestion was made to increase our membership to 150:– Pros
• Decrease the Wait List• Increase revenue in order to pay for speakers etc.
– Cons• Better to maintain a small group of people with
everyone knowing each other.• Could be a logistical nightmare for the
Competitions Director to maintain and process additional entrants.
![Page 16: Oshawa Camera Club Annual General Meeting May 21, 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/55166e7e550346a2698b56f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Membership Report for 2012 / 2013
– Outcome• Based on the attendance records it was seen that
we could handle the additional bodies – Around this time we were looking at about a 60% attendance.
• Not everyone is submitting to the competitions and the percentile impact would not have an impact to the number of competition submissions.
• The Executive, therefore, agreed to increase the membership to 125.
![Page 17: Oshawa Camera Club Annual General Meeting May 21, 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110303/55166e7e550346a2698b56f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Membership Report for 2012 / 2013
• The current membership status is as
follows:
• 121 Paid-up Members
• 2 Life Time Members
• The Wait List has now crept up to 60

Membership Report for 2012 / 2013
• Tracking of membership attendance has continued, and up to our last April 10th meeting here are some numbers to consider:

Membership Report for 2012 / 2013

GTCCC 2012/2013
I was pleased to represent OCC at this years GTCCC executive.
This year has been an active one for the GTCCC. A new president, Harvey Rogers provided expertise and energy to the council.
The Interclub Competition was well attended with an increase of 77% attendance over last year.

GTCCC 2012/2013
Education Day a new GTCCC activity was a success out of the gate. Next year should be even better. I would encourage all members to consider this a must attend for next year. The speakers were excellent and the venue work very well for all presentations. This event is great value for the price.
Next year Bob Bourke will represent OCC
at the GTCCC.
