They probably have a limited period when they actually do something useful, but the best people drift away and committees are left with people who enjoy it for its own sake. At that point there should probably be a clear-out to make way for new people but it doesn't happen of course.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-88650099605689209502021-06-01T22:23:04.827+01:002021-06-01T22:23:04.827+01:00When I retired and moved to a village, my arm got ...When I retired and moved to a village, my arm got twisted and I joined a number of voluntary organisations. I soon found that those which involved working on committees (such as school governor and Chair of the Friends of the Parish Church) were tedious and a waste of time, whereas the others (hospital driving, cleaning up the churchyard) were pleasant and useful. And looking back on committees in my final years of work, I can honestly say that they are among the nastiest memories of the last ten years.<br /><br />Some people seem to love them, though, don't they? Here in my new village there are loads of people who seem to do little else, and derive a great deal of meaning from them. Bizarre.
