The minutes of that meeting are to record each member’s acknowledgement that they have read & understand both the Club Model Rules and these Administrative guidelines and they agree to operate and manage the Club in accordance with these parameters.All committee members are to have a copy of the Club Model Rules & these Administrative Guidelines available to them whenever attending a Club mittee Members General DutiesThe following is an extract of the Club Rules, as approved by Consumer Affairs Victoria that outlines operating parameters.45General Duties(1)As soon as practicable after being elected or appointed to the Committee, each committee member must become familiar with these Rules and the Act.(2)The Committee is collectively responsible for ensuring that the Association complies with the Act and that individual members of the Committee comply with these Rules.(3)Committee members must exercise their powers and discharge their duties with reasonable care and diligence.(4)Committee members must exercise their powers and discharge their duties—(a)in good faith in the best interests of the Association; and(b)for a proper purpose.(5)Committee members and former committee members must not make improper use of—(a)their position; or(b)information acquired by virtue of holding their position—so as to gain an advantage for themselves or any other person or to cause detriment to the Association.NoteSee also Division 3 of Part 6 of the Act which sets out the general duties of the office holders of an incorporated association.(6)In addition to any duties imposed by these Rules, a committee member must perform any other duties imposed from time to time by resolution at a general mittee Meeting ProceduresMeetingsThe committee meets once a month, usually the second Tuesday after the dance.

Once passed, they are the official record of the meeting and cannot be changed.

The approved Minutes should then be distributed in PDF format to all Committee members and marked ‘Confidential’ if they contain sensitive or personal information.Motions A motion that has been passed at a meeting becomes a resolution which is binding on all committee members whether they are present or not.

Once all members have had a say in the motion, a vote will be taken on the motion. Any member of the committee can move a motion. A motion should start with the word ‘That……’Committee meetings must concentrate on the issue not individuals. Every committee member has a right to have their say without interruption and should be respected by all whether they agree or not. Defamatory remarks should not be made about others.All committee members must respect that some of the matters discussed are confidential business of the Committee and not discuss these matters with non-committee members.All motions, once passed, are the decision of the Committee and all Committee members are bound to support the outcomes of the motion.QuorumFor a normal committee meeting, a Quorum is the majority of the Committee members.
