Club Constitution.

  • Committee members are normally appointed for a minimum period of 12 months from the date of the club AGM.
  • Any club member may stand for the committee.
  • In the event of more than one person standing for a committee post then an election will be held at the club’s AGM. The candidate receiving the greatest number of votes from the members present at the AGM will be appointed.
  • Voting will normally be by a show of hands.
  • It is hoped that any committee member will remain in post for a minimum of 12 months.
