Q&A Session on Proposed Changes to the Club’s Disciplinary Process
In recent years, the Board has identified a need to reform and update the way in which the Club handles disciplinary complaints. The idea is to put in place a new system which improves on the existing arrangements, ensuring that the disciplinary process is fair, principled, objective and efficient. This will involve amendments to the Club’s Articles of Association.
The last Board voted to modernize our disciplinary process in 2019/2020 so that complaints can be handled in a more expeditious and proportionate manner. This initiative was highlighted at the Annual General Meeting in May.
Members are invited to a Q&A session in Bert’s at 6:30pm on November 25, where the proposals will be explained. This event had been scheduled for November 11 yet was postponed. We look forward to seeing you in Bert’s.
