The proposed changes are based on Golf Ireland's 'Governance Guide for Clubs' published earlier this year.
In summary these are:
- The business affairs of the Club will be organised and run by a Management Committee comprising ten members who will oversee all business matters relating to the Club.
- The Management Committee will be made up by a Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary, Captains of the Ladies and Gents sections and five members elected at the annual AGM. The terms of office for each of the named positions, with the exception of the Captains, will be two years with a maximum of two consecutive terms.
- The current structure of individual Ladies and Gents sections will be retained.
- The Club will have one President, and this mostly ambassadorial role, would be rotated each year between a male and female member. The President may attend meetings of the Management Committee.
- A Nominations Committee will be established to help identify potential members of the Management Committee or other positions- although members can also be nominated to these positions through the traditional routes.
- In establishing committees, the Club will adhere to the G.I. recommended gender balance-30% male, 30% female and 40% from either gender.
