Please find below a notice in relation to an EGM on the 5th November 2007. This EGM is specifically to deal with certain constitutional issues which need to be addressed.
There are 3 Resolutions proposed. The current Constitution, and well as full details of the proposed amendments under each of the Resolutions are available from the website and are also on display in the clubhouse. There are also limited copies available to take away if you wish to read in your own time.
The first resolution is to make minor corrections to the Constitution, including the fixing of typographical errors, and the updating of certain membership categories. The Constitution has recently been reviewed as part of the process of making a digital copy of the Constitution, and certain issues were highlighted. The purpose of this resolution is to fix these minor issues.
The second resolution is to add a clause to the Constitution which enshrines the clubs policy in relation to Child Protection. Tennis Ireland has requested that this clause be added to the Constitution of all tennis clubs, and essentially ensures that the club abides by the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport in Ireland.
The third resolution is to add clauses to the Constitution, which guarantee the clubs position as a non-profit organisation, from the point of view of the Revenue Commissioners. The addition of these clauses will guarantee that Capital Gains Tax is not payable should any assets which the club owns are sold, for example to finance the redevelopment of the clubhouse.
