I've been thinking about this. (Always a dangerous thing for me to be doing)
The Extravaganza (love it or hate it) is a massively important event, and if there is such a big threat to its existence then surely there is a process that could be followed to salvage the situation.
All I have seen on this subject is a few unofficial posts on this forum.
So, is the threat THAT great? If so, I would suggest the following course of action.
The Committee members should put out an appeal to the local community, asking for people with management experience and spare time to devote, to come forward. Heaven knows there are lots of such people in this area.
Then, and more importantly, spell out what is actually needed to be done.
Personally, from the little I have seen, it is made out to be something akin to having to eat a whole raw cow for dinner.
But when faced with something as daunting as that, simply break the tasks down into a list which can be shared out, and apportion responsibilities to those who come forward.
Even I was wondering whether I should offer my services, but no one is giving me any idea of what I would be letting myself in for? So obviously I keep schtum. I imagine many others will feel likewise.
Let us know what is required, what needs to be done, and you may well be inundated with volunteers.
