Club Constitutional Rules

[Leftie]

Every time I've heard it mentioned, it was always "Arbroath 0".

Ah! James Alexander Gordon. The voice of classified results. You knew the result after the first named team's score was announced.

"East Fife four, Forfar five". Sadly, he never had the chance to read that one.

Nor did he get to read out "Forfar 5 East Fife 4" as that was a mid-week game.

Chortle Cum Hardy I think. I'm too young to remember ..........

Or old enough to forget.

For the avoidance of confusion. My reason for my post was that I, as comp sec along with two other on the committee have worked hard, three months, on putting rules together to cover our comps. We had none written down when I took over. So after finalising them I posted them up on our comp notice board. Then this club upstart called a Greens Comp meeting, calling me, ladies comp sec, H/C sec, head G/K for reports. I've never been called to one in 18 months. At this meeting I just gave a brief update on comp this season and mentioned about the new rules we've put in place. Nothing too draconian, just basically what we do now just to formalise things. His response was "Right take them down" these have to go through the Greens comp (nothing written down to say this), then through Management comp (nothing written down to say this). I was steaming mad. Four months of work now gets held up. "Bring them to the next meeting"., "When will that be?" I asked seeing as this was the first one I'd been asked to in 18 months!!!!!! "When I decide it at the end of this meeting" Steam must have been seeping out of my ears!!!!! The people on the commitee? Me , Mr Captain. and the Senior Captain. Did they know about this? No they did not!!!!! It's just conkers! An attempt to put a block on us showing him, and the rest of them on the committee up. The ladies comp sec then said that she had adopted the SAME rules with a few tweaks to suit their section, and could she e-mail hers in? Yes she can!!!!! More steam!!!!!!!!!!!

So my reason for the initial question was to gain info on what these people can and cannot do regarding constitution rules. As it appears they have ridden over a few of the club rules so I need ammo when they attempt to block my committees rules. It would also appear that they also cannot do what they are doing, after reading your replies on here.

You're not wrong when you're right. BTW, the Magna Carta was signed in 1215, not 1205...

Never said anything about the signing of the Magna Carta just gave a date, 1205 when there was no UK......your honour..........

I went through the process of updating our comp terms of entry with a small committee 18 months ago, however before proceeding the committee was agreed by the main committee and before publishing the results they were approved by the main committee.

Perhaps, although your intention was correct, your process may have been somewhat unconventional.

Maybe, but it would appear you had a process agreed before you started. We, on the other hand, did not. Despite the fact EVERYONE AT THE CLUB HAD BEEN INFORMED BY E-MAIL THREE MONTHS PREVIOUSLY OF OUR INTENTIONS !!!!! We've been stitched up good and propper.

If it's good enough for the EGU it should be good enough for your club . Try getting some ammo and Google EGU conditions of entry.

Who exactly, is this "Club Upstart"? and why has he got so much power?

Dunno. He struts about the place like he owns it. He was Captain a few years ago. This was before I even knew him, and I thought he was an utter (enter own fav expletive) then. My wife was a member then and she doesn't like him. It seems I'm not alone. I tentatively sent an e mail to Lady Comp sec who was at the meeting and she has responded that she doesn't like him or the way he struts about the place either, so you can add her husband into our little club too. LOL.
The thing is 99% of our members and probably the same at most other clubs do not care about being on the committee of the actual day to day running, until it is too late. Chatting to a mate during last weeks comp as we went round, he stated that he'd have moved this year, but it was the rest of the lads that are keeping him there. If they decided to move, he'd go immediately. I seem to have gone off topic.

Do people still say "chortle"?

I do. Cracking word. The world would be a better place if everyone used words like chortle more. They make you smile, words like that 😁
