The Friends
Our Constitution
Aims & Objectives
The aim of the Friends of Bramcote Ridge is to study, make known, conserve and protect the Ridge as a generally accessible place of natural beauty and biodiversity, without detracting from its attractive semi-wild state.
We will seek to realise this aim through monitoring of the site, regular meetings and a programme of study and management.
The group will cooperate with the owners of the land and take into account the needs and wishes of the local community. Its activities will be subject to legal restraints and local by-laws.
The Group will be affiliated to the Bramcote Hills Community Association.
Membership
Membership of the group will be open to anyone who subscribes to its declared aims and pays the annual subscription.
Committee
The group will be managed by a committee consisting of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, and two to four other members, with the power to co-opt up to two further members.
The committee will meet at least three times a year, with minutes being taken.
Annual General Meeting
The Annual general meeting will take place in November each year, with a quorum of ten members. The agenda, to be circulated to members, at least three weeks beforehand, will include:
- Reports from the officers, including an audited Treasurer's report.
- Election of new committee.
- The amount of subscription for the forthcoming year.
- Any changes to the constitution.
- Any motion submitted to the secretary in writing, with names of the proposer and seconder.
- Any other business.
