Club President

The club president is an honorary position and, in theory, the holder would not perform any official duties within the day to day running of the club. The president
will have the authority to be present at committee meetings but not to take part unless invited to by a committee member. The club president would not
have a vote at committee meetings.

Functions would include welcoming visitors and teams, presentation of trophies and prizes and speaking at official functions.

It could also be considered that the president take the role of ‘independent arbiter’ in disciplinary cases where a solution has not been achieved through normal
channels. This would easily be covered by constitution and provide an independent oversight in delicate matters.

The president’s term of office would normally last 3 years but, in the face of popular acclaim, could be extended.

The committee chairman’s duties are to chair club committee meetings independently, efficiently and without bias. The chairman will liaise with sub-committee lead
