NOBS Constitution
MEMBERSHIP:
By invitation only. Interested parties are welcome to ride with the club unless asked not to. Acceptance as a member is by vote of all members. The colours and any club regalia are and will remain the property of NOBS Motorcycle Club and will be handed back at termination of membership. New members will be charged a determined levy at the time of issue and a pro-rata repayment (dependant on condition) will be considered on return of same.
DISPUTES:
To be in writing and handed to the President. Disputes will be thrashed out at club meetings.
OFFICE BEARERS:
Office bearers of NOBSMCC will remain so until they choose to resign, or are ousted by majority vote of the club members. This will be decided at a meeting convened for the purpose of elections. The unaffected officers must take a count of members requesting such a meeting and decide if it is warranted. One person with a grievance does not immediately justify such extreme measures. In such a case, all unaffected officers will be called in to arbitrate between the parties, before further steps are taken.
These meetings will be conducted in a fair and impartial manner, with all parties permitted to state their case. Members must agree to abide by the decision reached at the meeting.
Proxy votes WILL be allowed - Some members may have a valid reason for not being able to attend and every member must be permitted their voice, if at all possible. This will erase any doubt as to the fairness of the final decision
CONDUCT:
No member shall at any time be found drunk while wearing colours unless at exclusive biking events and behaviour is maintained. Similarly, any member who is deemed to be riding dangerously will be excluded from the ride unless they correct this practice.
