Timeline - Fall and Rise - Sep 2006 to Apr 2007
Sep 2006
  • Difficulty finding new committee members – still no Funds Manager
  • El Shaddai is postponed after initially confirmed band pulls out – YLGS manages to retain deposit money
  • Completed review of committee positions: needs five positions: MD, Secretary, Interactive, Events and PR and Funds. Newsletter can be run separately
  • Spam on website is still an issue – Jarvis consults Chris
  • Oct 2006
  • Monthly Meet up at OnAnon proves reminiscent for members
  • Committee page is updated
  • Jarvis steps down as Interactive Manager – managing from Birmingham is too hard
  • Events Team meet to discuss Christmas preparations
  • Nov 2006
  • Ideas from YLGS Think Tank are limited or unrealistic: James feels that members have lots of opinions, but are not expressing them, even when given the chance
  • Dec 2006
  • Christmas Masquerade Ball at Walkabout creates good vibes, but numbers attending are lower. James makes ‘getting-old-and-step-up’ speech
  • Alison completes as Events and PR Manager. Michelle D’Souza is introduced
  • Maggie meets with YLGS members in Goa – & recognised YLGS Committee Member
  • Newsletter – Goan Little Christmas emphasises global nature of membership
  • Jan 2007
  • G.O.A. Extravaganza sparks committee discussion about the future
  • Bluffer’s Guide to being a Goenkar is re-issued
  • Alison attends her last committee meeting, Michelle her first
  • Julian Gomes joins as Interactive manager, and attends his first committee meeting
  • James creates 2007 as ‘make or break’ for YLGS
  • Monthly Meet Up at The Soho is Michelle’s first – new faces appear
  • James divides up database, and committee begin calling
  • Feb 2007
  • Calls bring new ideas – some useful some not: YLGS events have become intimidating; YLGS is only about pulling; YLGS needs to attract young people; venues need to be varied; atmosphere needs to be relaxed; newsletter content isn’t very appealing
  • Monthly Meet Up at The Elbow Rooms is relaxed with charades: a different atmosphere is reported from members attending
  • Committee begin weekly conference calls
  • Mar 2007
  • Committee discuss strategy for the year: focus is on contacting members, cleaning database and re-launching website and newsletter
  • Tracey Rebello takes Editorship and proposes putting Goan through university
  • Committee agree that website needs to match events, and newsletter.
  • Fundraising ideas are discussed for El-Shaddai, but event is postponed
  • Risky Monthly Meet Up at different venue type - Guanabara attracts Facebook members, creates good music vibes, but is too loud for conversation! People still have a good time
  • Apr 2007
  • New website begins initial tests
  • Michelle creates YLGS Facebook group
