How Cotswold Bowls Club is structured
In October 2017 our Club was restructured under the 2006 Companies Act and became a Private Company Limited by Guarantee. As a consequence, the management structure was reorganised into a Board of Directors, consisting of eight Directors, each responsible for a specific aspect of the running of the Club.
Each Director is elected for a three-year term of office.
The Club remains a voluntary organisation without shareholders, and no Director receives remuneration for their services, other than legitimate expenses generated in the service of the Club.
All monies generated by the Club are retained to sustain our costs and to promote future development.
We strongly support and endorse the principle that the Club exists for the greater benefit of its members and for the promotion of the game of bowls.
Board meetings are held monthly and the minutes of the meetings are posted on the Club Notice Board. Club members are invited to contribute comments, observations and ideas through individual Directors, or through the Sub-committees established to support each Directorate.
The Club is also supported by a small but committed army of dedicated volunteers without whom we could not function, although we do also employ a small number of essential part-time staff engaged in delivering our administration, cleaning and catering/bar services.
