BENEFITS OF MERGER
Northamptonshire Golf
Meetings have been ongoing since December 2012 between the NGU and the NLCGA and many members from both Executives have been attending
They have been very fruitful and everyone agreed the merger should take place
As we are the first County in the country to progress this we have had great support from England Golf and they have agreed from the outset to pay our legal fees
The legal fees are because of the requirement to have a new set of County rules and be accredited as a limited company
The story so far
Northamptonshire Golf
The requirement for a Limited Company is so that the liability for each Club and each Director is only £1.00
These Rules and the Articles of Association have now been completed and agreed by both parties and the solicitors
It has been agreed Northamptonshire Golf will have a Board of Directors who will be appointed at the Annual General Meeting
They will be not be elected with a particular title but will have their duties selection upon election. They will then serve for a period of three years until re-election
The story so far
Northamptonshire Golf
The Chairman will be elected as a Director, then elected as Chairman by the Board of Directors and then be Chair of the Board meetings
The President and Vice President will be elected as they are now and nominated at the AGM. As the male to female ratio is uneven, there will be at least one female President in any 4 year sequence
All committees will have both males and females serving and would have a Director responsible for each department. The Director will be on the main Board of Directors
The story so far
Northamptonshire Golf
Before we can progress as one body, we have to circulate the membership and consult with them
We have to have the Rules and Articles of Association accepted by each Club and then approved at the AGM so we can progress as Northamptonshire Golf
