There will be an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Club at 7pm on 7 February at Islesburgh (just before the first pool session of the year).  This has been called to discuss, and hopefully agree, changes to the Club constitution.
 
The current constitution is very brief and doesn’t match up to pest practice identified by the SCA, particularly in respect of child protection.
 
The Committee is also proposing to move the time of the Annual General Meeting from March, as required by the current constitution, to January in order to give a newly-elected Committee more time after the AGM to organise the beginners’ training in April.
 
We’ll send out a draft constitution before the meeting. Please come to the meeting to tell us what you think and help shape the future running of the Club.
 
See you there
