it'll be good if the user group have some link with canon itself. while canon have been pretty active in coporate relationships.. I can't say the same for individual users like us. AFAIK, CS have yet to have any "support" from canon...unlike Nikon.
Also count me in
The old Canon club did not just close because of economic downturn.
I think there was more to it.
The Canon mgt may have decided the best thing to do was to close the club.
VERY WISE.
They bit the bullet.
If anyone ever sets up the Canon Club again.
Enshrine these basic constitutional rules:
1. No committe member from the most junior to the President of the Canon Club should serve more than 1 consecutive term. And 5 years should pass before any one of them ever again holds any other office/committee position.
2. The term of office holders should be maximum 1 year. No extension allowed. If no person avaliable then leave the post empty. If necessary close the "club", due to lack of office holders but never ever tolerate clique-control.
You have no idea how important these basic rules are. Until you realise a group of people have entrenched themselves into the system (even with voting and so on...) and like parasites are impossible to get rid of; until in the end you decide to kill the patient in order to stop the disease.
Don't make the same mistakes that other people made if you ever set up this new Canon "club".
It should be about enjoying photography and not about politics.
