Proposed Constitutional Changes

It is proposed that the club considers a name change to reflect the recent merger of Murrayfield-DAFS and Roseburn CC.
Suggested name is “Murrayfield United Cricket Club”.
Proposed by: Ian Shiels Seconded by: Required at meeting
2. Reason: A necessary change to the constitution, following the creation of 4 teams, proposes to amend paragraph 4 of the constitution to that below:

Club President
Club Vice-president
1st XI Captain
2nd XI Captain
3rd XI Captain
4th XI Captain
Secretary
Treasurer
Elected Committee Member
The election of these Office Bearers will take place annually at the AGM or, in the event of any of the posts not being filled thereat, at a Special General Meeting. In addition to the Office Bearers, the AGM may also elect Vice Captains for the 4 XIs and members to serve as Midweek and Weekend Match Organisers. It shall also have the power to appoint not more than three ex-officio members to serve on the Committee. In the event of an Office Bearer resigning during the year, the Committee shall appoint a replacement to serve until the next AGM.
Proposed by Iain Martin; Seconded by Ian Shiels
3. Reason: to reflect the larger committee, a proposal to amend the Constitution at Paragraph 5 from
para 5. The Committee shall be deemed quorate when three members are present.
To
para 5. The Committee shall be deemed quorate when five members are present.
Proposed by: Ian Shiels Seconded by: Iain Martin
4. Reason: to reflect the change of the club fielding 4 Teams and to introduce a procedure to resolve any disputes where the Selection Committee is split 2:2; a proposal to edit Paragraph 6 from
para 6. There shall be appointed annually a Team Selection Sub-committee comprising the Captains from each of the three teams, the 1st XI Captain to act as Chair thereof. Where a team Captain is unavailable, that team’s Vice Captain shall act in lieu.
To
para 6(a). There shall be appointed annually a Team Selection Sub-committee comprising the Captains from each of the four teams, the 1st XI Captain to act as Chair thereof. Where a team Captain is unavailable, that team’s Vice Captain shall act in lieu. Where the Selection Sub-committee cannot come to a majority decision on a selection issue (that is, split 2:2) then the Club President shall be the final arbiter in such circumstances
Proposed by: Ian Shiels; Seconded by: Iain Martin
5. Reason: that to ensure the club President is free of any specific Team interest, not least because of the arbiter role in amended paragraph 6(a) a proposal of a new clause to be added to the constitution as below:
para 6b. To maintain independence from any specific team interest and to allow acting as the final arbiter in selection matters as stated in Clause 6a, the Club President cannot simultaneously hold a Club Captaincy position.”
Note : If adopted this paragraph would become 6b and the existing paragraph would become 6a.
Proposed by: Ian Shiels; Seconded by: Iain Martin
6. Reason: to recognise the commitment from certain Club Officials, propose new clause (new paragraph 4b – paragraph 4 becoming 4a if adopted) as follows:
“To recognise the commitment involved in the discharge of their duties then the holders of following listed Official Club positions will receive a 50% reduction in annual Membership subscriptions fee:
· Club President
· 1st XI Captain
· 2nd XI Captain
· 3rd XI Captain
· 4th XI Captain
· Sunday Captain
· Midweek Captain
· Secretary
· Treasurer
· Webmaster
Holding two such positions will thus see a full refund of Membership subscriptions fee for that year. Re-imbursement for any significant expenditure incurred through the discharge of their duties over and above these levels would be a matter for the Committee to resolve but will be reported in the Club Annual Accounts”
Proposed by: Ian Shiels; Seconded by: Iain Martin
