Responsibility for the Club rests with its Trustees, as with most charities. There are two types:

​

• Executive Trustees – who serve on the Executive Committee and are involved in day-to-day management

• Independent Trustees – who are separate from daily operations and ensure the Club is run in line with its constitution and charity law

 

All trustees are elected by members, though Independent Trustees may be co-opted on a short-term basis until the next AGM, at which point they must stand for election.

 

The Executive Committee manages the Club’s daily operations under delegated authority from the Trustees, with some decisions requiring Trustee ratification.

 

Most committee members are elected at the AGM, but the committee may also co-opt additional people to support its work. Each branch and reserve elects a representative to sit on the committee.

 

Running the Club is a team effort - from governance and committee roles to volunteers on the ground. If you’d like to get involved, please visit Volunteering to find out more.
