The CV website is "created by amateurs for amateurs" according to those in the know. Whilst we do appreciate their efforts, the idea that the amateurs might ask professionals in the website development field for assistance seems not to have taken root anywhere, which is a shame. It takes just as long to put together a dodgy, hard to navigate site as it does to put together a professional looking site.
In respect of publishing minutes of executive meetings, unless there is a membership management system controlling access to the website, then I wouldn't recommend publishing minutes and accounts on the CV website. To do so would make it publicly accessible, which isn't necessary, nor advisable.
What could be done however is to put together a mailing list for, as an example, all the club presidents of clubs affiliated with CV. That wouldn't take more than 15 minutes for someone to organise, and then the minutes could be distributed to the clubs (n.b. it is clubs who are the members of the association in VIC, not individuals, with the exception of certain life members).
If I get time, perhaps I will write to the CV Executive and put this to them as a proposal for the next AGM.
