2025 Subscriptions:

The subs are $90 and to be paid by the 31st January. From February they will be $100. Please check that you haven’t paid for your subs already. We had quite a few members paying twice last year.

Club Constitution:

The Christchurch Bridge Club Inc is an incorporated society, under the 1908 Incorporated Societies Act.

There is a new version of the Incorporated Societies Act (2022). This has been written to update requirements and return to this Act being aligned more closely against the Companies Act.

There are many changes, most of which have little or no effect on our normal operations. What we are required to do is have more robust processes to admit members (members must agree to join the club) and more about disciplinary matters with a strong focus on natural justice. The people on the committee need to be fit and proper persons and there are some requirements on who can or can’t be involved. With the required changes our constitution is swelling to be twenty pages long where it was six pages long before.

The draft constitution is posted on the Club’s website and on the whiteboard at the club. There will be a question and answer session. The date and time is yet to be set.
