8. Effect of Resignation or Expulsion

Any person ceasing to be a Member forfeits all rights in relation to and claims upon the Club, its property and its funds and he has no right to the return of any part of his subscription.

9. The Executive Committee

9.1 The Club shall be managed by an Executive Committee consisting of:

(a) the President
(b) the Chairman
(c) the Honorary Secretary
(e) the Honorary Treasurer;
(f) no more than one other Member elected annually at the annual general meeting.

9.2 The Executive Committee shall decide in its discretion how Members may be nominated to be members of the Executive Committee and shall notify the Members accordingly.

9.5 The Executive Committee shall be elected at the annual general meeting in each year, and subject to termination of office by resignation, removal or otherwise, the Members remain in office until they or their successors are re-elected or elected (as the case may be) at the annual general meeting following their re-election or election (as the case may be).

10. Proceedings of the Executive Committee

10.1 Executive Committee meetings shall be held as often as the Executive Committee thinks fit provided that there shall not be less than quarterly. The quorum for such meetings shall be three. The Chairman and the Honorary Secretary shall have discretion to call emergency meetings of the Executive Committee if they consider it to be in the interests of the Club. The Honorary Secretary shall give all the members of the Executive Committee not less than 5 days' notice of a meeting.

10.2 The Chairman shall be the chairman of the Executive Committee. Unless he is unwilling to do so, the Chairman shall preside at every meeting of the Executive Committee at which he is present. But if there is no person holding that office, or if the Chairman is unwilling to preside or is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, the members of the Executive Committee present may appoint one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

10.3 Decisions of the Executive Committee shall be made by a simple majority and in the event of an equality of votes the Chairman (or the acting chairman of that meeting) shall have a casting or additional vote.

10.4 The Executive Committee may from time to time appoint from among its number such sub-committees as it considers necessary and may delegate to them such of the powers and duties of the Executive Committee as the Executive Committee may determine. All sub-committees shall periodically report their proceedings to the Executive Committee (or join in the Executive Committee's meeting) and shall conduct their business in accordance with the directions of the Executive Committee.

10.5 The Executive Committee shall be responsible for the management of the Club and shall have the sole right of appointing and determining the terms and conditions of service of employees of the Club. The Executive Committee shall have power to enter into contracts for the purposes of the Club on behalf of all the Members.

10.6.1 The Trustees of the Club shall be appointed from time to time as necessary by the Club in general meeting from among the Members who are willing to be so appointed. A Trustee shall hold office during his life, or until he shall resign by notice in writing given to the Executive Committee or until a resolution removing him from office shall be passed at a general meeting by a majority comprising [two-thirds] of the Members present and voting.

10.6.2 All property of the Club including land and investments, shall be held by the Trustees for the time being, in their own names so far as necessary and practicable, for the use and benefit of the Club. On the death, resignation or removal from office of a Trustee, the Executive Committee shall take steps to procure the appointment by the Club in general meeting of a new Trustee in his place; and shall as soon as possible thereafter take lawful and practicable steps to procure the vesting of all Club property into names of the Trustees as constituted after the said appointment. The Trustees shall in all respects act, in regard to any property of the Club held by them, in accordance with the directions of the Executive Committee; and shall have power to sell, lease, mortgage or pledge any Club property for the purpose of raising or borrowing money for the benefit of the Club in compliance with the Executive Committee's directions. But no purchaser, lessee or mortgagee shall be concerned to enquire whether any such direction has been given.

10.7 The number of Trustees shall not be more than five, or less than three.

10.8 The members of the Executive Committee shall be entitled to an indemnity out of the assets of the Club for all expenses and other liabilities properly incurred by them in the management of the affairs of the Club.
