The Committee of Welwyn Garden City CC are calling an EGM via Zoom on Monday 20th June at 7pm.
Welwyn Garden City Cricket Club have been advised by our County Association that we should, in order to comply with Clubmark requirements, make an amendment to our Club Rules regarding membership of the club.
This EGM has been called for the club members to consider the change to Rule 4.1. This rule currently reads "Membership is open to all the community without discrimination. Membership of the club shall be at the discretion of the committee. Membership will be granted on the basis of a simple majority."
The County Board have recommended that the club remove the section in red.
The ECB have advised that all clubs should adopt the ECB Anti-Discrimination Code. Since we have called this EGM we propose to take the opportunity to do this now. The committee propose that the following be added to rule 2.1
"The club has read, understands and hereby adopts the principles of the ECB Anti-Discrimination Code." The ECB antii-discrimination code can be viewed at www.ecb.co.uk/abour/policies-and-regulations/anti-discrimination and will be displayed on the club noticeboard following the EGM.
Please give the items above your consideration and try to attend the meeting - details of how to join will be provided nearer the date.
best regards
