Constitutional issues
Whether you are forming a new club/federation, or your club/federation has been
in operation for a long time, a well-designed constitution is needed.
What is a constitution?
A constitution is a basic set of rules for the daily running of your club/federation.
It details for your members, and others, the name, objects (sections), methods of
management and other conditions under which your club/federation operates, and
generally the reasons for its existence. It also regulates the relationship between
members by setting out the basis for working with other co-members.
A constitution can be made up of 2 parts:
1. The rules that include the basic principles of the group and can be changed
only by a general meeting
2. The regulations (by-laws) that can be changed by the management committee.
