41 Club national vacancy: National Councillor for Region 22
15 March 2016 by
It has been some time since your Region has had a full-time National Councillor. Mark Fairchild has been caretaking the Region for some years and would like someone to take this role on as soon as possible so he can concentrate on his National Treasurer role. National Council would like to thank Mark for all his hard work and endeavours.
The National Council is keen to seek a new National Councillor in order that the Region can continue to be properly covered and supported.
I am therefore calling for Nominations for a new Councillor to take Mark’s place as soon as possible.
You may nominate a full member of your Club or another Club in the Region but the capitation fee for the Club must not be in arrears. Nominations on the enclosed form must reach me by 15 April 2016.
It may be helpful to mention that a National Councillor has two main areas of activity. Firstly he is the key contact between all the Clubs in the Region. Through visits and other means he takes the views of Clubs to National Council, responds to any help Clubs may need and explains what the Association is doing. Secondly he attends four Council Meetings per year so that he can report on events in the Region and participate in general discussion and decision making. The term is three years. A second two year term is currently permitted under the Rules (there is a Resolution to be tabled at the 2016 AGM to remove the second term of two years) and there is limited help with expenses.
The National Councillor is a key role where the candidate must be enthusiastic, have a sense of duty, carry out the role with pride, have a strong desire to ensure a successful future of the Association, and above all to carry out the role with responsibility, dedication, acceptable humour and respect for his fellow Councillors and Officers.
Should you be interested in this post please contact Mark Fairchild for a discussion on the role in Region 22 which we hope may be of assistance to any prospective nominee.

41 Club National AGM 2016 – supporting documents
8 March 2016 by
Please find the following documents on the 41 Club Website:
Please ensure that the person attending the AGM on your behalf has a downloaded copy of the Agenda and Order Paper. More copies will be available on the day. Please appoint a Voting Delegate, and discuss the resolutions and elections in the Order Paper with your members before they attend, so your Voting Delegate is qualified to vote correctly on your behalf.

For those attending the AGM as the Voting Delegate, please ensure the Chairman or Secretary completes and signs the Voting Delegate Form (FORM A) and they bring the completed Form with them to the AGM to register. Failure to follow this may prejudice your Club’s vote.
If you are appointing a Proxy Voting Delegate on your behalf, you need to complete the Proxy Voting Delegate Form (FORM B) and send it to me to arrive no later than 09:00 a.m. on Wednesday 13 April 2016. Forms received after this date will be invalid. Please see the separate notes on Proxy Voting.
Please note anyone in 41 Club can attend the AGM and observe. There is no limit on numbers – everyone is welcome!
Finally, please check and update as required your Club and Member details on CAS and update them ‘on line’ as required.

November 2015 Race Night report
23 November 2015 by
Background
– Whilst 41 Club has gained some new members in recent years, it was proposed that we should raise the profile via a ‘Membership Evening’
– The immediate advice from Round Table members who had tried a similar event, was that actually badging the evening with the word ‘Membership’ was guaranteed to frighten off any invited guests
– The Membership Officer – Simon Lockley -therefore formed a committee consisting of Richard Grunwell/ Steve Slade/ Simon Ward plus Ben Kitto flying the flag for RT88 to agree a way forward. We also had guest appearances from Mike Shingler & Nigel Sheppard, and David Henderson promoted the event online
– It was decided to host some type of social event, and this was rapidly followed by the notion of making this into a Race Night to generate some funds for seriously ill children
Progress
– The Membership Officer then spent an exhausting 3 months delegating tasks to others
– The Race Night started to take shape, and by ‘D Day’ – 20 November – Yorkshire Race Nights had been booked to appear at Scarborough Rugby Club, and 110 people had booked a place
– Jenny Slade plus her friend Victoria, and Elaine Lockley kindly spent several hours decorating the room with items donated by Boyes Stores
The Event
– There were a few last minute cancellations and additions but 106 people attended, with Ian Costello parting them from their money at the door.
– Scarborough Rugby Club donated a very large room free of charge and sponsorship from local companies underpinned costs and got us off to a head start. Thanks to: Lloyd Dowson/ David Duggleby/ Brian Davidson/ Raflatac/ Moore Stephens/ Pinkney Grunwells/ Care Micro/ plus Boyes
– Alan Collins – Ambassador for Children’s Wish – drove all the way up from Coventry to explain how the organisation provided customised ‘wishes’ to brighten the lives of children undergoing treatment for cancer and other serious conditions
– Simon L & Ben Kitto kicked off the event with a brief welcome then handed over to Tyrone from Yorkshire Race Nights.
– Simon Ward & Jim Hughes manned theTote and the racing started, pausing only for some excellent pie , chips & peas at 8.30pm plus a raffle hosted by Tony Peers assisted by Samantha Lockley
– Stuart Baines was tasked with capturing a record of the event
Conclusion
– Steve Slade arranged for money from the various sources to be counted during the event, and he was able to step forward at about 11pm to thank people for attending and announce a provisional net joint donation from 41 Club & RT88 of £2,000
– The local press are going to be invited to a formal handover of the money to Children’s Wish, and contact details to be supplied to encourage potential new members to get in touch.
