Part 3 – Members | Rule 8: Classes of Membership

• Introduction of a new Day Membership category.
• Amendments to the wording relating to Social Members and Life Members.

Rules 15 & 16 – Disciplinary Action

• Rule 15 – Suspension or Expulsion: Proposed amendments would allow the Committee to implement an immediate interim suspension where circumstances warrant it, such as breaches of competition rules or concerns for the safety or welfare of others, while the formal review process is undertaken.
• Rule 16 – Consequences of Suspension: Proposed amendments would provide the Committee with additional discretion to impose appropriate restrictions during an interim suspension, including restricting or removing a member's ability to participate in Club competitions or activities.
