The Club closed for 2020 play on Saturday 17 October.
As we are in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Directors have tried to find a solution to the problem of not being allowed to hold an Annual General Meeting in January 2021. A Covid-19 Policy File document has been drawn up and distributed to all members. The Board next meets on Tuesday 03 November, and members are invited to send views on this document for the Directors to consider. Such responses from members should be with the Secretary by email or in writing by Friday 30 October, to allow for copying to Directors in advance of the meeting.
The proposed Policy File is copied below:-
BISHOPBRIGGS BOWLING CLUB
COVID 19 AGM POLICY FILE
This policy reflects the likelihood that it will not be possible to hold an Annual General Meeting as scheduled in January 2021 because of the ongoing COVID 19 crisis and the associated restrictions on social gatherings.
It is accepted that an Annual General Meeting is mandatory in terms of the club constitution and any deviation from that norm, otherwise than as a result of a decision taken at an Extraordinary General Meeting would by definition be a breach of the constitution.
The Board are therefore in a position whereby they are required to arrange an AGM in accordance with the constitution however to do so, or to arrange an EGM to avoid an AGM, would be in a criminal offence in breach of the COVID 19 regulations and would put the health and safety of the members and their wider families at risk.
As a matter of policy therefore the Board propose that, subject to the approval of the membership, the current Board will continue in office for a further year until the next scheduled AGM in January 2022 or as otherwise determined at an EGM which may be called at some point (COVID restrictions permitting) before that date.
The Board will assume the authority and responsibility to make the decisions which are otherwise routinely decided or authorised by the members at the AGM.
The Audited Annual Statement of Accounts will be published for the information of the members and sent by email to those members who have provided an email address and by post to those who have not.
The Board will elect the Executives and Office Bearers from amongst the eligible members.
This policy will only come into effect with the approval of the members. A copy of the policy will be emailed to members with voting rights who have provided an email address and by post to those who have not. There will be a presumption that members are content to approve the policy unless they contact the Club Secretary intimating a contrary view before a date prescribed in the letter/email sent to them. The policy will come into effect on the prescribed date unless more than 50% of the members with voting rights intimate a contrary view.
