Club Rules

... Update Posted 4 May 2021...

Following the vote below, by email and on Facebook - the count is in.

Under the original rules:

• The number for a Quorum is defined as the a Fifth of the number of Senior Members obliged to pay a subscription fee.
• During a vote any member may cast a vote regardless of whether they are obliged to pay a subscription or not and with no limit on the age of the member.
• For the rules to change the vote must be passed by 2/3 of those present.

For the vote - the Quorum was 1/5 of 174 Senior fee paying members making 33 required.

The votes were cast as follows:
    52 in favour of all of the changes
    0 against

During the vote there were enough involved to be a Quorum and enough votes to count towards the 2/3 of those involved.

Therefore the new rules take effect immediately.

The new rules will be published shortly with 2x corrections as shown below: (Link to follow)

    Trophy 28 - The 'Phillip Moore' Memorial Trophy - The SPOCO 8-events - Overall Winner
    'POCO' changed to 'SPOCO'

    Trophy 30 - The 'Ron Peckham' Trophy - The Ladies 12 hour trophy
    'Awarded annually to the Lady Member who completes the fastest 12-hour event.' changed to:
    'Awarded annually to the Lady Member completing the greatest distance in an open 12-hour event.'

BRCC has a set of ‘Club Rules’ which we have been looking to update.

PLEASE READ and VOTE by Sunday 25th Apr 2021

Changes were presented to the AGM of 2018 and although agreed upon could not be voted for or ratified as the AGM did not meet the requirements to form a Quorum. Unfortunately, none of the AGMs over the past 4 – 5 years have been attended by enough members to form a Quorum.

The revised ‘Rules’ are presented to club members to be either CONCURRED or REJECTED.  They have been reviewed by the committee and are not up for further discussion at this stage.

You are therefore asked to vote to CONCUR the changes.

If you do not agree with the changes for a particular section then please do not vote for it but continue to vote for those you do concur.

Any sections not concurred by the cut-off date will be reviewed and opened up for further discussion.

All members will receive either an email or a paper copy with additional options for voting should members either not have access to Facebook or should they wish to vote by another means.

The Current and Proposed Rules are available at the links below. Paper copies can be requested to be sent by post for those without internet access.
