BrahimHemdani 1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Email just in Update Dear member Club 1872 is disappointed to announce the departure of William Cowie and Alex Wilson from its Boards. Members will be aware that Club 1872 differs from other companies by having its members not its directors take key decisions. That is not something every director will be comfortable with, although it is something all directors committed to when joining the Board. Club 1872 thanks William and Alex for their efforts and hopes they will continue to offer Club 1872 their support and encouragement going forward. Members should note that a new constitution will be published for Club 1872 by the end of this month. Meetings will be held to consult with members on the document and members will also have the chance to send their suggestions and thoughts to Club 1872. The new constitution will enshrine members rights to take key decisions, call meetings, deal with Board appointments etc. Quarterly members meetings will be introduced and there will also be an enhanced role in the new constitution for working groups. Going forward, we envisage establishing around 5 working groups, each with up to 5 members. Groups will have a direct line of communication with the Board through a central co-ordinator who, amongst other tasks, will require to consider and report to members on each group’s recommendations and progress. It is hoped these and further changes will enhance and protect the members’ role in Club 1872 and improve engagement going forward. The Board will be communicating over the next week with those who have expressed an interest in contributing as volunteers to Club 1872. Elections will follow for a new Board of Club 1872 and the arrangements for these elections will begin directly after members have decided on the new constitution. Anyone who wishes to participate can apply by emailing info@club1872.co.uk Club 1872 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,356 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 No, it will be a proposal, a consultation period then a vote by members. I've fired off an email already saying I'd be happy to help with it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
