Five members of the Management Committee shall constitute a quorum.

Committee meetings to be held as necessary but at least five meetings to be held in one year.

A Member is any parent or guardian of an existing Playing Member, or any elected Officer of the Club, or any person helping in Club activities on a frequent and regular basis.

Twelve members shall constitute a quorum for the Annual General Meeting, which will be held in November each year, and any Special General Meeting.

The Management Committee shall have power to co-opt members and to appoint any Sub-Committee and shall prescribe the function and powers of that Committee.

A Special General Meeting shall be convened at a request in writing to the Secretary of twelve members of the Club. Such a meeting shall be held within thirty days of the request.

The limitation on playing membership shall be the number and age fixed by the Annual General Meeting or Special General Meeting called for that purpose.

Applications for membership shall be made to the Membership Secretary on the Club’s official form and, if there are Playing Membership places available, will normally be approved subject to the parents/guardians signing the ‘self-declaration form’ in accordance with the Club’s Child Protection Policy and agreeing to participate in the supervision rota.

If the Membership Secretary considers that an application should not be approved, it will be referred to the Management Committee as soon as practicable. After considering the application, the Committee will inform the parents/guardians of the applicant of their decision and, if applicable, the reasons for refusal. Refusal will normally apply only when the Committee has good reason to suppose that new members are likely to act in breach of the Constitution or Rules of the Club.
