How the Club Is Run<\/h1>\n
\n

Rules and Regulations<\/h2>\n

The Club is run in accordance with its Constitution<\/a> that covers: objectives, membership, management, running meetings, finances, etc.\u00a0 There are also Standing Orders<\/a> that govern how General Meetings should be run.\u00a0 Both can be downloaded as PDF documents by clicking the corresponding links above.<\/p>\n

Two other important documents are the Code Of Conduct and the Dispute Guidance Procedure.<\/p>\n

The Code Of Conduct<\/a> is given in the Guidelines section above,\u00a0 and everybody should read it<\/strong><\/em> as they are expected to abide by it.<\/p>\n

The Dispute Guidance Procedure only applies in the event of a dispute and is in this section of the website.<\/p>\n

The Committee<\/h2>\n

Much of the running of the club is done by a committee elected at the AGM, who meet as required.\u00a0 The responsibilities of the members of the committee are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Chairman<\/td>\nChair meetings (Committee, AGM, EGM).\u00a0 Oversee smooth running of the club.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Secretary<\/td>\nRecord and distribute minutes of meetings.\u00a0 Deal with club correspondence.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Treasurer<\/td>\nLook after the finances of the Club and prepare budget and accounts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Publicity Officer<\/td>\nOrganise publicity and advertising.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Membership Secretary<\/td>\nIntroduce new members to the club. Renew existing memberships. Maintain membership database.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALO (Association Liaison Officer)<\/td>\nLiaise with and act as contact for the AIVC and other IVCs. Instigate joint events with neighbouring IVCs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Activities Officer<\/td>\nEncourage, advise and co-ordinate members organising events. Ensure a good diary of events.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

General Meetings<\/h3>\n

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is usually held towards the end of October, and a draft AGM Bulletin Supplement that includes the agenda and any motions to be considered is normally distributed at the beginning of October.\u00a0 All Full Members are welcome to attend, and they can vote on motions.<\/p>\n

The Committee may occasionally order an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) if there is some matter that cannot be delayed until the next AGM.<\/p>\n

Finances<\/h3>\n

Membership fees for the following year are set at the AGM and are due in January. New members who join during the year pay on a pro-rata basis.<\/p>\n

The club is non-profit making.\u00a0 Most of the income is used to pay for the club’s Meetup group and the server hosting this website and email services.\u00a0 Some goes towards a subscription to the AIVC, which includes third party insurance for members organising events, and to pay for any costs incurred by any delegate(s) attending the AIVC annual conference or workshop(s). The remainder covers other administrative costs, such as room hire and food for the AGM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
