Was wondering if
had developed standard operation procedures (SOP) for things like running a raffle, running an event, running a trail ride, giving the drivers meeting, and so on, and so on...
Not sure how much each chapter, re-invents the wheel, for each event they run. As an example, my club had to start from scratch, for the annual meeting/trail run my club put on. We made a profit for ourselves of only $300 or $400 I think. People had fun, we learned a lot. Never ran anything that big again.
A lot of work behind the scenes goes on. For those that don't know, you have overall stuff for the whole event. Then each sub-event, registration, tech, drivers meetings, pre-event setup, finding raffle prizes, each trail run, each meal you are offering, t-shirts, other swag. And you often always have the same core group running things. Usually, because no body else is stepping up saying, I'll do something. Meetings, emails, phone calls, running around, finding vendors.
Much about putting on an event is no fun.
