A. The person I was talking to was in Melbourne.
I know Queensland ones are processed in Sydney, and are handled by volunteers, as the SFFP is a small party with limited .
A. I never gave that a thought. That would explain a lot. I was told there had also been an issue of their mail disappearing.
It might be worthwhile passing your concerns on to the SFFP Victorian branch,
A. I did to the person in Melbourne.
I didn't expect much, just a welcome letter and a receipt via email would have been great. Membership card could wait. But nothing for about 7 weeks!
Now you mention volunteers that sort of changes my view a fair bit. I'll take a wait and see position. Maybe rock up to a local meeting or two. That's if I get an invite![/quote]
Mate, don't wait for an invite to get involved, it is good to see you are keen and prepared to have input, this is what the party needs,
I am not sure what they are doing down there, you may have to get in touch with them and find out when the meetings are being held, one of the things a small party like the SFFP needs is member participation and feed back, your views and ideas are just as important as anyone else.
I am fairly confident any membership involvement and assistance would be most welcome, we have a long way to go and have a lot of room for improvement, but the small band of volunteers down there are a committed lot, the more people get involved, the more that can be achieved.
