You may recall at our AGM that Steve Gordon raised the subject of the club applying for charitable status in order to limit the liability of members in the event of a claim against the club. Since then we have been working to identify the benefits, the drawbacks, and the process involved. I am pleased to say that we have now concluded our research and are in a position to move to the next stage, which involves sharing information and asking members to vote on the proposals, this will include adopting a new club constitution.
I am therefore giving members notice of a Extraordinary General Meeting as part of our club meeting in August.
The meeting will only take up a small portion of the evening (hopefully) so we will still have our usual activities on a Hands On night for you to get involved with.
Richard Pinches – Club Secretary
