EXISTING RULE

4.0 MEMBERSHIP
st
st
The Membership (Club) year shall run from the 1 November in one year to 31 October in
the next.
Proposed change:
st
The Membership (Club) Club year shall run from the 1 November in one year to
st
31 October in the next.
REASON
Tidy up from the last change; there not been a specific membership year as from January 2018

Proposed DELETION:

 propose and second new members,

REASON
Clause 16.4 has been included for the club to apply for funding streams, however, the use of the
proposer and seconder system of election to membership in clause 8.1 is likely to be a hinder the
club’s application for funding.
It has not been applied for several years now.

NB: This will also require changes in the following rules, to delete these words: 4.2.2; 4.3.2;
4.6.2; 4.6.3; 8.1; Appendix A

EXISTING RULE

4.4 Outport Member
4.4.1 Outport Membership shall be available to those over 18 years of age for whom, for any
reason accepted by the Committee, frequent attendance at the Club might be difficult or
unlikely, unless the option afforded by rule 6 is requested.

Proposed change, add:
4.4.1 Outport Membership shall only be available to those existing members over 18 years of age
for whom, for any reason accepted by the Committee, frequent attendance at the Club
might be difficult or unlikely, unless the option afforded by rule 6 is requested.

REASON
Outport membership has never been available to new members, it is not an option on the
membership application form and, as a prospective member would not have received a copy of the
Rules prior to joining, they would not know about it. It is inherently linked to rule 6 as an alternative
option which again, is not open to prospective members.
