  2. Club Committee structure All clubs need to have a committee structure in place to help them in the organisation and the management of club activities. Every club is required by rule to have a Club Executive Committee. Clubs may also have a number of sub-committees in place to help with certain aspects of administration and activity.

  3. The Club Executive Committee The club Executive Committee is the controlling body of the club, managing the business and affairs of the club (rule 7.1 club constitution). Members of the Executive are elected at the club AGM each year and it is essential that the Executive Committee is active and well managed.

  4. Executive Committee - Rule The Club Executive Committee must comprise of club officers and members as set out in rule 7.2 of the club constitution, outlined as follows: 7.2 The Executive Committee shall be comprised of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary, Registrar, one Players’ Representative, PRO, Cultural and Language Officer and at least five other Full Members.

  5. Club Executive Committee Clubs should keep in mind that a big number on the Executive does not necessarily mean that the Executive will operate more efficiently. It is recommended that each member of the Club Executive committee should have specific responsibility for some aspect of activity within the Club. Role of the AGM of a Club is to elect the Executive Committee to administer and manage the business and affairs of the club.

Valuable way to involve a large number of Club members. Allow decision making by a smaller group – faster decisions. Allow members with specific area of interest to concentrate on area. Helps to delegate and share the workload.
