LBPC CLUB ETIQUETTE
Good club etiquette helps to create and maintain a successful and happy club, one in which its members feel comfortable and creates a sense of belonging.
Face to Face Meetings
- Look out for new members and guests; introduce yourself and help them feel comfortable.
- The Chairman (or person deputising) to Introduce any new members to the club, the Judges and Speakers at the start of the meeting and to thank them at the end.
- Ensure mobile phones are kept on silent during the meeting.
- Keep background noise to a minimum during any judging, presentation or talk to enable all to hear clearly and not to have a running conversation/commentary with fellow members.
- Be careful not to publicly criticise the judge either directly or indirectly.
- A Q&A session will normally begin at the end of the judging, presentation or talk for members to ask questions, please refrain from asking questions until then unless the judge/speaker has requested otherwise.
- At the end of each meeting help with the clearing up – remember many hands make light work.
Zoom Meetings
- The Chairman (or person deputising) to Introduce new members to the club and any Judges or Speakers at the start of the meeting and to thank them at the end.
- To keep background noise to a minimum while unmuted.
- be careful not to publicly criticise the judge either directly or indirectly.
- Whilst a Judge or Speaker is addressing the club all participants will be muted.
- A Q&A session will normally begin at the end of the judging, presentation or talk for members to ask questions, please refrain from asking questions until then unless the Judge/Speaker has requested otherwise.
Remember this is your club, be mindful of others, contribute towards its improvement, pitch in and help where necessary. A club is only as good as its members.
