| PROPOSAL FOR MORAY RFC SGM; 3RD JULY 2013 |
| Wed 19th Jun 2013 |
That a Parental Member Category be included under Section 3 of the constitution and that it attract the same constitutional rights as Playing, Non-Playing and Lady Membership; Parental Membership to be available to parents or carers of Junior (Youth/Mini/Micro) members of the Club that have paid the appropriate Junior subscription for the same season. Also that the Parental Membership cost be set at £25 for the season 2013/2014 (Equivalent to the cost of Lady membership).
Below is Section 3 of the Constitution:
The membership of the Club shall consist of Playing, Non-Playing,
Lady, junior and/or such other categories of members as may be
agreed upon at a General Meeting of the Club. Junior Members
shall be those who have not attained their eighteenth birthday before
1 October in any year. Junior and Social Members shall not be
entitled to vote on any matters affecting the Club nor hold any office
within the Club.
Rationale:
The Constitutional establishment of Parental Membership would have several significant benefits; an increased level of inclusion available to parents that would hopefully encourage more of them to have a higher level of involvement in the club, a more balanced representation across voting members (~50% of the total subscription income traditionally comes from those U18 and ~90% of paid up playing members this season were U18) and offer a slight increase in income as some parents take up the proposed new Parental Membership.
Some parents may still choose not to become members at all, some may revert to Social Membership and some will remain as Full Members; however this proposal would offer a broader set of arrangements where all parents, from P3 to U18, will be able to find something to fit what they want. It will also allow Parental members to be office bearers of the club as required by the constitution. Perhaps just as importantly, this would offer an enhanced overall impression of the Club to new members and parents; it would show that the Club is looking forward and sees the junior element as a fundamental requirement for the continued success of the club, which is an impression that might not necessarily have come across to some new parents/members in the past.
