Club Committee

Club Committee structure

All clubs need to have a committee structure in place to facilitate the organisation and the
management of Club activities. Every Club is required by rule to have a Club Executive
Committee. Clubs may also have a number of sub-committees in place to help with certain aspects of administration and activity.

Each year, a Club must hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM is the most important meeting of the year and every effort should be made to ensure that it is organised in accordance with the rules as laid out in the Club constitution.

Communication in the club

Communication is one of the most important ingredients of a well managed and successful Club. Good communication ensures that the Club operates efficiently and effectively and without this essential ingredient, the Club cannot achieve its full potential.

effective club meetings

Clubs must hold regular meetings in order to discuss the affairs of the Club and make
decisions regarding all aspects of Club activity. Clubs must, by rule, hold meetings of the
Club Executive and an Annual General Meeting.
