And it's a wonder why so many golf clubs are struggling to survive!
Any elected Committee and the Manager should be able to do most things off their own backs in the interests of the Membership as they have been the elected by those said Members in the first place. If the Members don't like it then get elected!
You all sound like Jeremy Corbyn!!!!
You must be on a wind up, no-one can be that dense and still walk upright.
Where do you draw the line then of what those in charge can do then?
Put up the price of coffee
Increase competition fees by 50p
Sack the pro for being incompetent
Introduce a tee booking system
Increase Membership fees
Change ladies day from Tuesday to Wednesday (at their request)
An elected Committee can pretty much do what they like other than start projects that cost extra money and then they don't need an AGM to do it, just manage it right in the first place.
They can't, that's the point...
Can't what?
Just look it up before one of us dies
They can't do pretty much what they like, they are bound by the club's constitution.
Jeepers! It's not rocket science. The Constitution are the rules of the club. The committee/council/board of management facilitate the running of the club within those rules. If they believe these need changing, then they can propose it to the members at an AGM but it had to pass (in our case) with 2/3 of those members who vote being in favour. I've sat on all of the above so speak from experience.Where do you draw the line then of what those in charge can do then?

So they can't put coffee up by 20p as the price from the support has gone up by the same?

Can't a word be had?
That's worse than footballers doing the "give him a card" thing to the ref.

Let's just try this once using my own Club constitution
The committee can increase the price of coffee as that's a day to day matter
The committee can't sell the freehold of the course without an AGM/EGM and a 90% majority vote to do so.
If you have problems understanding the difference in the level of autonomy of the committee decision making then best you refrain from posting on this thread
Sorry but it's infesting so many threads it's beyond funny now. Well that's my humble opinion at least
Yes even I get that but the OP was something about the ages of intermediate Membership - something that doesn't really need an AGM vote for as its just a day to day/running of the club as a business issue.
