Humphrey, the problem with that is it’s not considered an acceptable use of owner’s funds by the Qld commissioner and would likely fall over on challenge even if included in the budget. So any reward offered need come from an additional whip-around. Which makes sense I guess as those who want to can, and those who don’t, won’t thank their volunteers in this way.
Personally, I’m aware of 3 different approaches: one where the manager on behalf of the committee does such a good job the owners send them away for a lavish dinner or weekend away, one where we never need engage with the committee or manager as they do such a great job and probably wouldn’t take a reward more than a pleasant thank you, and lastly, where the committee thank themselves as no one else will!
