Notice of Special General Meeting
- Mar 3, 2022
- 2 min read
Over the last two years, the Rockhampton Golf Club (RGC) has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Club’s constitution.
This activity was required to ensure our constitution stayed current with Golf Australia’s expectations and with changes to State legislation governing the operations of sporting clubs and associations.
The proposed Constitution will bring us in line with most golf clubs in Australia and will serve as the document that takes us forward as the leading golf club in Central Queensland.
What do the changes mean?
The new constitution will not alter the day-to-day operations of the club.
The main changes will be to the Club's governance structures which will move to a Board and sub-committee model.
It will also provide fairer and more equitable dispute resolution processes, and properly recognise our current membership categories.
The proposed new Constitution has been approved by your Management Committee and a Special General Meeting (SGM) of the RGC members will now be held to vote on its introduction on:
Monday 21 March 2022 at 6:00pm in the Clubhouse .
What happens at the meeting?
At the SGM you will have two options:
Vote Yes to the resolution to adopt the new constitution.
OR
Vote No to reject the resolution to adopt the new constitution.
At the SGM, there will not be an opportunity to propose amendments to the document - the Committee will present the entire document in a resolution for acceptance to the membership.
Should the Members approve the proposed new Constitution, it’s planned date of effect would be 4 April 2022, to allow time for consequent work to be completed on the Club’s By Laws.
How can you get a copy of the proposed new constitution?
The new constitution can be downloaded here or hard copies are available by contacting the office.
If you which to have any further information and or have any questions regarding this proposed constitution, please direct your emails to: committee@rockygolfclub.org.au
Regards,
Rockhampton Golf Club Management Committee
Can I just praise the ending for a second? So many pieces fizzle out, but you wrapped this up in a way that tied everything together. It left me satisfied rather than wanting more for the wrong reasons. yaay for a writer who sticks the landing. Excellent from start to finish.
I was pointed here by someone who knew I wanted to find out more about this subject and the recommendation held up well. The writing is purposeful and the structure reflects genuine thought about what the reader needs to know and in what order. Nothing here feels arbitrary or included just to add length. I found the depth here impressive without being overwhelming. The examples used throughout are well-chosen and make the more abstract points much easier to grasp. Already pointed three colleagues toward it. Solid work throughout.
I've been building up a reading list on this subject for a project I'm working on and this article has earned a place near the top of it. The coverage is comprehensive without being exhausting and the tone is consistent throughout. I found it useful both as an introduction to some aspects I was less familiar with and as a deeper look at things I already had a working knowledge of. The examples used are well-chosen and relevant. Will be referencing this again before the project is done.
I've been skeptical about a lot of what gets published on this topic because so much of it is derivative. This article earned my attention quickly and kept it throughout. The author is willing to make specific claims and defend them rather than retreating into hedged generalities when the argument gets demanding. That intellectual commitment makes the piece feel trustworthy in a way that more cautious writing rarely does. I shared it in a professional context and it generated a genuinely useful discussion. Strong work.
I saw a brief message telling me to read the post and the content delivered well beyond what that brief nudge suggested. The balance between depth and readability is well-judged from start to finish and nothing gets oversimplified just to make it easier. I appreciated the honest handling of the more nuanced aspects of the subject throughout. A few ideas here will influence how I approach this topic going forward. Already exploring other content from the same source. Good work.
