At a Special General Meeting (SGM), held on Thursday 9 April 2026,

a resolution was passed to amend the Club’s Constitution as follows:

Current wording:

37. Funds – Management

37.1 Subject to any resolution passed by the Association in general meeting, the funds of the Association are to be used in pursuance of the Objects of the Association in such manner as the Committee determines.

37.2 All cheques, drafts, bills of exchange, promissory notes and other negotiable instruments must be signed by, or in the case of an internet banking transaction co-authorised by, any two (2) members of the Executive Committee of the Association, or one (1) member of the Executive Committee and the Public Officer of the Association.

37.3 In the event of the appointment of a 2nd Vice President and/or an Assistant Treasurer for a specific Committee term, each of them will be considered to be a member of the Executive Committee and, therefore, an additional bank signatory, for that period.

Amended Wording:

37.1 stays the same

37.2 is updated to reflect current practice and is reworded as follows: ‘All internet banking transactions must be co-authorised by any two (2) members of the Executive Committee of the Association, or one (1) member of the Executive Committee and the Public Officer of the Association.

37.3 is added as follows: ‘Payments may also be made by debit card, and SWIC debit cards are to be held by the President and the Treasurer only. The daily authorisation limit on these cards is to be set, and reviewed as necessary, with the approval of the Committee.

All proposed uses of the debit card will be agreed in advance by at least two (2) members of the Executive Committee of the Association or one (1) member of the Executive Committee and the Public Officer of the Association. Payments made via the debit card will be reported to the Committee monthly.’

37.3 is renumbered as 37.4 and stays the same.
