Include in this any sub committees that exist within your club.

Question 1: How often does each of your club committees meet per year / season? (Maximum 150 words)

Management Committee - meets 6 times per year (reduced from the 8 quoted in the above diagram)

Social Committee - will meet on an ad-hoc basis as required

Question 2: What written information is produced by each committee / sub committee / working group and who produces this written information? (Maximum 150 words)

For all committees, the club Secretary circulates a proposed agenda and appropriate reading ahead of each meeting and takes formal minutes, distributing them within one week of the meeting.

The club Treasurer produces a financial summary at each Management Committee meeting.

The agreed Development Plan forms the basis of the agenda at each Development Committee meeting.

Question 3: How does each committee communicate to the other committees and to club members? (Maximum 200 words)

Each sub-committee chair is represented on the Management Committee and escalates any issues or important information.

The minutes of the sub-committees are forwarded to the Management Committee members ahead of their meetings and there is the opportunity to challenge and ask questions as part of the Management Committee agenda.

Minutes of all committee meetings are available from the club Secretary to any club member on request and this is made clear on the club's website.
