Skipton AC Club Constitution
1 TITLE
The title of the club shall be Skipton Athletics Club.
2 OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the club shall be:
3 MEMBERSHIP
Membership shall be open to juniors and adults who are amateurs as defined by UK Athletics. An applicant needs to fill out a club membership form and submit to the membership secretary who will review the application and consult with the committee members if there are any queries.
4 MANAGEMENT
The management of the club shall be vested in a Management Committee which shall comprise three “officers” of the club, i.e. the Chair, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer, and at least seven “general members”. All the forementioned shall be elected at the AGM and remain in office until the conclusion of the following year's AGM. Any paid up member of the club who has been a member for at least 12 months is entitled to sit on the Management Committee. The Management Committee will have the power to fill vacancies if and when they arise. The Committee shall also have the power to co-opt members for particular projects, but co-opted members shall not have a committee vote. Members co-opted by the Management Committee for particular events, e.g. race organisers, will be given full discretion and authority as to how the event is run.
Committee meetings will be held as often as club activities dictate. These meetings will be open to all paid up members, but only members of the Management Committee will have a vote. Additional committee meetings can be called if necessary, but reasonable efforts must be made to publicise any additional meetings to all paid up members by use, for example, of the club web site and notice board.
Six Management Committee members shall be deemed to form a quorum and will be empowered to ratify a decision.
5 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The AGM will usually be held after the club's year end of 30th November for the purpose of:
6 AFFILIATION
The club shall seek to affiliate to the appropriate governing body(ies) in order to carry out the objectives of the club.
7 SUBSCRIPTIONS
Members shall pay an annual subscription fee at the commencement of the club year. The level of the fees may be adjusted at the AGM.
8 NON-PAYMENT OF SUBSCRIPTIONS
The committee shall have the power to expel any member whose subscription is five months in arrears providing that one month's notice has been given.
9 RESIGNATIONS
Any member wishing to resign must inform the Honorary Secretary.
10 EXTRA-ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
An EGM shall be called by any officer of the club within one month of receipt of a written requisition signed by at least two members stating the purpose of the meeting. At least 14 days notice shall be given to all fully paid up members of the date, time, venue and purpose of the EGM.
11 CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS
No constitution rules may be altered, added to, or deleted, except at an AGM or an EGM called for that purpose, then only by a two-thirds majority of those present and voting. For the purposes of determining a voting majority an abstention is deemed not to count as a vote.
12 ACCOUNTS
Club funds shall be kept in two separate Bank/Building Society accounts. The Honorary Treasurer will ensure there is £1,000 in a working account, for the general running of the club on the earliest working date possible at the start of each club year. The remainder will be in another account and may only be used for fulfilling the club's objectives. Cheques must bear two out of three organised signatures. At the start of the club's financial year, a budget of 10% of the club's assets is deemed available to support members who are representing the club in team events at county, region or national level. Entry fees will be paid by the club for these representative events. Entries to other team events will be considered on an ad hoc basis. For representative events, members wishing to claim travelling expenses must seek approval from the committee beforehand. Other claims and grants will be considered on an ad hoc basis and approval for expenditure from the committee must be sought in advance.
Claims for expenses should be sent to the Honorary Treasurer with the appropriate receipt. Un-receipted claims may be taken to the Management Committee for authorisation.
