Membership fees and our Constitution

Annual Club Subscription
The club is non-profit making. Subscriptions cover the cost of the website and other administrative costs. All Committee members are volunteers.
The club year runs from 1st April to 31st March. At the present time, the annual renewal membership fee is £20.00 per year.
You may pay by bank transfer or standing order, but we hope you will choose standing order, as this reduces our work load and postage costs.
Paying Site Fees
All members are responsible for booking and paying their own site fees unless otherwise indicated. Meet hosts may be able to negotiate special discounts when using private sites so members are encouraged to state that they will be with New Companions when booking. If someone offers to transport others to places of interest it is usual to offer to contribute towards fuel costs.
Administration of the Club
The club is run by a committee of volunteer members. Committee members are voted in at the AGM and their tenure is for 3 years. The Committee consists of the following positions.
The Committee roles are –
-
- Chairman of the Committee
- Club Secretary
- Membership Secretary
- Treasurer
- Chronicle Newsletter Editor
- I.T Manager
- Events Manager
- Up to three Committee Members without portfolio
The club has a simple Constitution agreed by all members on joining. The club is managed by a committee elected at each annual general meeting. All members agree to accept decisions taken at general or committee meetings. The Committee has the authority to terminate, refuse or suspend membership. An annual List of Members is circulated to all members.
