What does the N Z D C do for me?

We often hear the cry, "what does the New Zealand Darts Council do for me?"

Why be a member? The answer is simple: "Because you are a darts player."

Every sport needs an organisation as a focal point - an organisation all players and

administrators, Associations and regions can turn to.

The central organisation represents every single member, whether a champion or a social club

player. It organises the sport on a national basis for the benefit of all; it liaisons and arranges

representation in major world events.

It provides information to anyone who asks. It helps develop standards for the sport (dress,

behaviour, playing and tournament rules, standard throwing distance etc.).

If you want to take up the chant ("What does the NZDC do for me?"), first ask yourself: "What

do I do for NZDC?"

Do you communicate your needs? Do you ask for certain services?

Communication is a two-way street. The Directors and the Chief Executive cannot know what

you would like to see happen unless you let them know.

Do you have an idea you think the NZDC could use? Tell us about it. Do you have an issue you

need to have resolved? Ask for help. The same issue has probably been dealt with quite simply

before, and your solution is probably very simple.

There are endless things you can do to communicate your needs and take advantage of your

membership benefits.

A major problem is always lack of communication to local members, the grass roots of the sport.

In many cases, important information is not passed on by local officials. Please display all

newsletters etc. to all members.

All Associations regularly receive circulars about membership, with requests for information on

local promotions etc. normally not many respond. Those who do are very positive and have

some good ideas that have been responsible for increasing their membership. If everyone

responds, the results will be of benefit to all.

The ball is in your court. Respond to requests from NZDC for your input and opinions. Make

communication a two-way street and you may never have to ask again; "What does the NZDC

do for me".
