Club governance

The club is governed by a minimum of three trustees, who are elected by the membership at the annual general meeting.

The trustees delegate the day to day running of the club to the club committee. Key committee roles are also elected by the membership at the annual general meeting. The club committee can co-opt up to three additional members onto committee, but these individuals do not have any voting rights.

These governance rules are defined in our articles of association, which can be found on the club rules page.
