DECISION-MAKING BY THE MEMBERS
Members’ meetings
24 The board must arrange a meeting of members (an annual general meeting or “AGM”) in each calendar year.
25 The gap between one AGM and the next must not be longer than 15 months.
26 Notwithstanding clause 24, an AGM does not need to be held during the calendar year in which the organisation is formed; but the first AGM must still be held within 15 months of the date on which the organisation is formed.
27 The business of each AGM must include:-
27.1 a report by the chair on the activities of the organisation;
27.2 consideration of the annual accounts of the organisation;
27.3 the election/re-election of charity trustees, as referred to in clauses 56 to 59.
28 The board may arrange a special members’ meeting at any time.
Power to request the board to arrange a special members’ meeting
29 The board must arrange a special members’ meeting if they are requested to do so by a notice (which may take the form of two or more documents in the same terms, each signed by one or more members) by members who amount to 5% or more of the total membership of the organisation at the time, providing:
29.1 the notice states the purposes for which the meeting is to be held; and
29.2 those purposes are not inconsistent with the terms of this constitution, the Charities and Trustee (Investment) Scotland Act 2005 or any other statutory provision.
30 If the board receive a notice under clause 29, the date for the meeting which they arrange in accordance with the notice must not be later than 28 days from the date on which they received the notice.
Notice of members’ meetings
31 At least 14 clear days’ notice must be given of any AGM or any special members’ meeting.
32 The notice calling a members’ meeting must specify in general terms what business is to be dealt with at the meeting; and
32.1 in the case of a resolution to alter the constitution, must set out the exact terms of the proposed alteration(s); or
32.2 in the case of any other resolution falling within clause 42 (requirement for two-thirds majority) must set out the exact terms of the resolution.
33 The reference to “clear days” in clause 31 shall be taken to mean that, in calculating the period of notice,
33.1 the day after the notices are posted (or sent by e-mail) should be excluded; and
33.2 the day of the meeting itself should also be excluded.
34 Notice of every members’ meeting must be given to all the members of the organisation, and to all the charity trustees; but the accidental omission to give notice to one or more members will not invalidate the proceedings at the meeting.
35 Any notice which requires to be given to a member under this constitution must be: –
35.1 sent by post to the member, at the address last notified by them to the organisation; or
35.2 sent by e-mail to the member, at the e-mail address last notified by them to the organisation.
Procedure at members’ meetings
36 No valid decisions can be taken at any members’ meeting unless a quorum is present.
37 The quorum for a members’ meeting is 10 members, present in person.
38 If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes after the time at which a members’ meeting was due to start – or if a quorum ceases to be present during a members’ meeting – the meeting cannot proceed; and fresh notices of meeting will require to be sent out, to deal with the business (or remaining business) which was intended to be conducted.
39 The chair of the organisation should act as chairperson of each members’ meeting.
40 If the chair of the organisation is not present within 15 minutes after the time at which the meeting was due to start (or is not willing to act as chairperson), the charity trustees present at the meeting must elect (from among themselves) the person who will act as chairperson of that meeting.
Voting at members’ meetings
41 Every member over the age of 16 and who has been a member for 28 consecutive days prior to the meeting, has one vote, which must be given personally.
42 All decisions at members’ meetings will be made by majority vote – with the exception of the types of resolution listed in clause 43.
43 The following resolutions will be valid only if passed by not less than two thirds of those voting on the resolution at a members’ meeting (or if passed by way of a written resolution under clause 47):
43.1 a resolution amending the constitution;
43.2 a resolution expelling a person from membership under clause 26;
43.3 a resolution directing the board to take any particular step (or directing the board not to take any particular step);

43.6 a resolution for the winding up or dissolution of the organisation.
44 If there is an equal number of votes for and against any resolution, the chairperson of the meeting will be entitled to a second (casting) vote.
45 A resolution put to the vote at a members’ meeting will be decided on a show of hands – unless the chairperson (or at least two other members present at the meeting) ask for a secret ballot.
46 The chairperson will decide how any secret ballot is to be conducted, and they will declare the result of the ballot at the meeting.
Written resolutions by members
47 A resolution agreed to in writing (or by e-mail) by all the members will be as valid as if it had been passed at a members’ meeting; the date of the resolution will be taken to be the date on which the last member agreed to it.
Minutes
48 The board must ensure that proper minutes are kept in relation to all members’ meetings.
49 Minutes of members’ meetings must include the names of those present; and (so far as possible) should be signed by the chairperson of the meeting.
50 The board shall make available copies of the minutes referred to in clause 48 to any member of the public requesting them; but on the basis that the board may exclude confidential material to the extent permitted under clause 95.]

Charity trustees – general duties
74 Each of the charity trustees has a duty, in exercising functions as a charity trustee, to act in the interests of the organisation; and, in particular, must:-
74.1 seek, in good faith, to ensure that the organisation acts in a manner which is in accordance with its purposes;
74.2 act with the care and diligence which it is reasonable to expect of a person who is managing the affairs of another person;
74.3 in circumstances giving rise to the possibility of a conflict of interest between the organisation and any other party:
74.3.1 put the interests of the organisation before that of the other party;
74.3.2 where any other duty prevents them from doing so, disclose the conflicting interest to the organisation and refrain from participating in any deliberation or decision of the other charity trustees with regard to the matter in question;
74.4 ensure that the organisation complies with any direction, requirement, notice or duty imposed under or by virtue of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005.
75 In addition to the duties outlined in clause 74, all of the charity trustees must take such steps as are reasonably practicable for the purpose of ensuring: –
75.1 that any breach of any of those duties by a charity trustee is corrected by the charity trustee concerned and not repeated; and
75.2 that any trustee who has been in serious and persistent breach of those duties is removed as a trustee.
76 Provided they have declared their interest – and have not voted on the question of whether or not the organisation should enter into the arrangement – a charity trustee will not be debarred from entering into an arrangement with the organisation in which they have a personal interest; and (subject to clause 77 and to the provisions relating to remuneration for services contained in the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005), they may retain any personal benefit which arises from that arrangement.
77 The charity trustees may be paid all travelling and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with carrying out their duties; this may include expenses relating to their attendance at meetings.
Code of conduct for charity trustees
78 Each of the charity trustees shall comply with the code of conduct (incorporating detailed rules on conflict of interest) prescribed by the board from time to time.
79 The code of conduct referred to in clause 78 shall be supplemental to the provisions relating to the conduct of charity trustees contained in this constitution and the duties imposed on charity trustees under the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005; and all relevant provisions of this constitution shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with the provisions of the code of conduct in force from time to time
DECISION-MAKING BY THE CHARITY TRUSTEES
Notice of board meetings
80 Any charity trustee may call a meeting of the board or ask the secretary to call a meeting of the board.
81 At least 7 days’ notice must be given of each board meeting, unless (in the opinion of the person calling the meeting) there is a degree of urgency which makes that inappropriate.
Procedure at board meetings
82 No valid decisions can be taken at a board meeting unless a quorum is present; the quorum for board meetings is 3 charity trustees, present in person.
83 If at any time the number of charity trustees in office falls below the number stated as the quorum in clause 82, the remaining charity trustee(s) will have power to fill the vacancies or call a members’ meeting – but will not be able to take any other valid decisions.
84 The chair of the organisation should act as chairperson of each board meeting.
85 If the chair is not present within 15 minutes after the time at which the meeting was due to start (or is not willing to act as chairperson), the charity trustees present at the meeting must elect (from among themselves) the person who will act as chairperson of that meeting.
86 Every charity trustee has one vote, which must be given personally.
87 All decisions at board meetings will be made by majority vote.
88 If there is an equal number of votes for and against any resolution, the chairperson of the meeting will be entitled to a second (casting) vote.
89 The board may, at its discretion, allow any person to attend and speak at a board meeting notwithstanding that they are not a charity trustee – but on the basis that they must not participate in decision-making.
90 A charity trustee must not vote at a board meeting (or at a meeting of a sub-committee) on any resolution which relates to a matter in which they have a personal interest or duty which conflicts (or may conflict) with the interests of the organisation; they must withdraw from the meeting while an item of that nature is being dealt with.
91 For the purposes of clause 90: –
91.1 an interest held by an individual who is “connected” with the charity trustee under section 68(2) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (husband/wife, partner, child, parent, brother/sister etc) shall be deemed to be held by that charity trustee;
91.2 a charity trustee will be deemed to have a personal interest in relation to a particular matter if a body in relation to which they are an employee, director, member of the management committee, officer or elected representative has an interest in that matter.
91.3 For the avoidance of doubt, no trustee shall be entitled to vote in relation to any matter connected with his/her payment in relation to services provide to the club in line with clause 103
Minutes
92 The board must ensure that proper minutes are kept in relation to all board meetings and meetings of sub-committees.
93 The minutes to be kept under clause 92 must include the names of those present; and (so far as possible) should be signed by the chairperson of the meeting.
94 The board shall (subject to clause 95) make available copies of the minutes referred to in clause 92 to any member of the public requesting them.
95 The board may exclude from any copy minutes made available to a member of the public under clause 94 any material which the board considers ought properly to be kept confidential – on the grounds that allowing access to such material could cause significant prejudice to the interests of the organisation or on the basis that the material contains reference to employee or other matters which it would be inappropriate to divulge.
ADMINISTRATION
Delegation to sub-committees
96 The board may delegate any of their powers to sub-committees; a sub-committee must include at least one charity trustee, but other members of a sub-committee need not be charity trustees.
97 The board may also delegate to the chair of the organisation (or the holder of any other post) such of their powers as they may consider appropriate.
98 When delegating powers under clause 96 or 97, the board must set out appropriate conditions (which must include an obligation to report regularly to the board).
99 Any delegation of powers under clause 96 or 97 may be revoked or altered by the board at any time.
100 The rules of procedure for each sub-committee, and the provisions relating to membership of each sub-committee, shall be set by the board.
Operation of accounts
101 Subject to clause 102, the signatures of two out of three signatories appointed by the board will be required in relation to all operations (other than the lodging of funds) on the bank and building society accounts held by the organisation; at least one out of the two signatures must be the signature of a charity trustee.
102 Where the organisation uses electronic facilities for the operation of any bank or building society account, the authorisations required for operations on that account must be consistent with the approach reflected in clause 101.
103 Payment of members will only take place where it is in the best interests of the charity (for example where voluntary coaches are not appropriate or available).
103.1 there is a written agreement between the charity and the member,
103.2 the written agreement sets out the maximum amount to be paid,
103.3 the charity trustees are satisfied it is in the interest of the charity for the services to be provided by the member for that maximum amount.
Accounting records and annual accounts
104 The board must ensure that proper accounting records are kept, in accordance with all applicable statutory requirements.
105 The board must prepare annual accounts, complying with all relevant statutory requirements; if an audit is required under any statutory provisions (or if the board consider that an audit would be appropriate for some other reason), the board should ensure that an audit of the accounts is carried out by a qualified auditor.
MISCELLANEOUS
Winding-up
106 If the organisation is to be wound up or dissolved, the winding-up or dissolution process will be carried out in accordance with the procedures set out under the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005.
107 Any surplus assets available to the organisation immediately preceding its winding up or dissolution must be used for purposes which are the same as – or which closely resemble – the purposes of the organisation as set out in this constitution.
Alterations to the constitution
108 This constitution may (subject to clause 109) be altered by resolution of the members passed at a members’ meeting (subject to achieving the two thirds majority referred to in clause 43) or by way of a written resolution of the members.
109 The Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 prohibits taking certain steps (eg change of name, an alteration to the purposes, amalgamation, winding-up) without the consent of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
Interpretation
