Dear members A few things to consider before this year’s AGM. a.. The Committee and Officers of the Club are elected at the AGM and any club member with voting rights has the right to make not more than one nomination, with the written consent of the candidate, for election as one of the Committee members. a.. The Officers of the Club are the Secretary, the Treasurer and the Chairman. The Officers of the Club are elected at the AGM in accordance with Rule 9.3. The election of the Officers is rotation with the Chairman and Treasurer being elected one year and the Secretary being elected the following year. The Chairman shall be elected from within the Committee by the duly elected Officers and Committee Members in accordance with rule 15.2. What that means is that this year Fred Pell is standing down as Treasurer, and Chris is standing down as Chairman. My post as Secretary will be retained until the 2015 AGM. a.. With regard to the post of Honorary President, the Membership elects person to the role of Honorary President of the Club at alternative AGMs. The person appointed holds the post from the end of the AGM for two years (until the end of the next but one AGM). As the last election took place at the 2012 AGM nominations will be required for this post at this year’s AGM. If anyone would like to familiarise themselves with the Club Constitution you can find it on the Pitchero website HERE. Regards Kevin Brown Hon. Secretary Chesterfield Panthers RUFC Tel: 01246 235657 Mob: 07958 498642
