Introduction

All clubs/federations hold meetings of some kind. These can vary from informal
chats to formal annual general meetings. Meetings are an important way for clubs/
federations to:
• communicate with their people
• make key decisions about where they are heading
• agree how they will get there.

Too often clubs/federations hold ineffective meetings. These meetings waste
people’s time. This module will give you the skills to plan and facilitate shorter but
more effective meetings.

Outcomes of ineffective meetings

There are many reasons why meetings can be ineffective.

Activity 2.1

Think of a recent example of when you have attended an ineffective club/
federation meeting. How did you feel during and after the meeting?
