A new Constitution has been drafted for Members to view prior to the AGM.  Currently this is known as our Articles of Association. The main goal of this update is to modernise the document. The Board has been working on this for some time, and it will be put to a vote at this year’s AGM on 13th November 2024.

We have reviewed the draft with several former Committee Members, made revisions based on their feedback. The comparison table highlights the key differences between the old and new documents to make it easier to navigate. You may also request a hard copy from the office.

We encourage you to review the document and share any feedback by emailing us prior to the AGM at feedback@northbridgegolfclub.com.au.

Our approach follows the path taken by many golf clubs across Australia, using a recommended template from Golf NSW as the foundation. This template was developed by constitutional lawyers engaged by Golf Australia to assist clubs nationwide. Numerous Sydney golf clubs have successfully adopted new constitutions using this method. Using the template as a foundation, we incorporated relevant sections from the old Articles of Association to create the final document.

Board members and I will be available at the end of several competition days in the coming weeks to answer any questions you may have.

Please note that the new Constitution will require a 75% majority for approval at the AGM, and I look forward to your support in endorsing the final version.
