To receive, consider and if agreed, pass the following proposals:
a) Club Subscriptions
The Committee proposes to keep club subscription fees at the same level as the current year. Club subscriptions were last increased in 2019.
Therefore the proposal is:
That membership subscriptions to the club, for the year commencing 1 January 2022, shall be as follows:
Adult Members aged 23 & over £70
New Members Under 18 (includes club vest) £70
New Members 18-23 £55
Members Under 23 renewing £55
O/60s & the unemployed £55
Second claim £20
Supporters (Non training or competing) £15
Family membership (2 members) £120
Family membership (3 members) £170
Family membership (4+ members) £220
Note:
Ages are at 1 January 2022. In certain circumstances members may be able to pay a reduced rate at the discretion of the Membership Secretary. Adult newcomers who join after 1 July shall pay a reduced amount at the discretion of the Membership Secretary, taking in to account the time left in that year.
Due to the fee that the bank charges the club for processing cheques all members are asked to pay their subscriptions by bank transfer if at all possible.
Proposed by the Committee
b) Club Rules
The Committee has been looking at the Club Standards in response to the EA Governance Review. This highlighted that our club had scored 1/7 on EA Compliance Regulations so action was needed to increase our scoring. AC had sent a report via email ahead of the meeting. We need to work towards a 7/7 as this could increase our chances of future funding awards.
A Grievance and Disciplinary Policy and an Inclusion Policy have been agreed and adopted by the Committee. These are to be uploaded on to the Club’s website. We now have a second welfare officer. These are improving our score.
As of this process the Committee have also reviewed the club rules in light of the EA suggested template.
Therefore the proposal is:
To adopt amended club rules as set out here.
