September 2011

Hello,

Firstly, a huge well done to everyone who got their A-Levelsand GCSE results. And as I have said before, to those whodidnt quite get what they wantedkeep looking and trying

Our young adults are more than willing to help and talk toteens and parents about their experiences in this.

Once again it is with great sadness I have to write aboutanother death of someone close to the club. Alice Adamswas a much admired student during her time at Chalfonts.Even though I was older than her, I admired her permanentsunny smile and sense of fun. Alice became involved withthe club and helped out with some village fetes and with themake up on The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I was

devastated, as I am sure we all are, when we found out shehad been stabbed to death in her home in London. A manhas been charged.

On behalf of the club we would like to send our love andthoughts to Alices family and I am sure we will do our verybest to continue that sunnyattitude in our own lives and in future shows.

Dates for Auditions and the pantomime are on Facebook and

The AGM is the yearly committee meeting where everyone

member, parent or public are welcome and encouraged.

We explain the current state of the club and how much

money we have going into the next 12 months. At the AGMimportant decisions such as membership rates and any

changes to the rules or constitution are explained.

The committee are the people voted by you to run the club

and all the ins and outslike this newsletter or organising

trips to west end shows or just paying the bills.

If youd like to know more then please do ask any memberotherwise the 2011 AGM is Wednesday 7th September at

7pm. It should be a short one this year as very little is being

changed so there will be a PANTOMIME AUDITION WORK-

SHOP which is vital for everyone straight after the AGM and

a well needed cup of tea.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE IVER HEATH DRAMA CLUB

The following is a new constitution for the Iver Heath Drama Club and its members, here after known as the club,

and is based upon the original constitution and its amendments. This new edition was established to better protect andperform the club in its current status and in an ever evolving modern world. The phrasing should has been used to

indicate the best legal method however this not a full requirement whereas those phrased must or will have to becarried out as per the constitution and not in the style of. A member is anyone involved with the club; this includes

full, junior, associate and honouree members.

THE CLUB

The Club is a non profit making organisation which is run for the benefit of its patrons, its members and the surround-

ing community. The club is run on a voluntary basis and survives entirely upon their efforts. It was established in Oc-

tober 1948 and it is proud of its community connections.

THE AIMS OF THE CLUB

It is the aim of the club that each year a summer show and a pantomime will be performed. These performancesshould be made available to the community of Iver Heath as a whole and should be aimed to make a reasonable

enough profit to ensure the survival of the club for a reasonable time period or until the next production.

The club must also make a commitment to educate and entertain its members and the community. This should beachieved on a moral and responsible basis. In essence the club holds as much of a social responsibility as much as a

dramatic educational one. Providing a safe fun social environment to further all the members should be the corner-

stone of the club. Amateur Dramatics is the catalyst that will enable us to do this.

The club will always be open to members of all genders, races, religions, ages and abilities.

THE COMMITTEE

A committee is ideally an elected group of representives who administer the moral and social, financial and dramatic

responsibilities of the club. The election of a committee and/or its members should take place each year at an AnnualGeneral Meeting, which will be open to all members of the public.

In the event of the loss of any officer, through death, resignation or injury, the committee can appoint an interim offi-

cer to hold the position until the next AGM. Should a committee member be forcefully removed from post, for serious

misconduct or criminal activities, the committee must hold an EGM to establish the events and replace the officer.

The committee should comprise of a;

PresidentChairperson

Treasurer

Secretary

Adult Member Representatives(s)

Junior Member Representative(s)

THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

A committee should meet quarterly The and at least four committee members should be present, one of whom must

be an officer. All committee meetings must be minuted and a copy of this must be presented to each committee mem-

ber. All members must be notified of all relevant changes. A written agenda must be produced by the Secretary at

each meeting, this should be in a written form but in extraordinary circumstances, for instance a stress or serious inci-

dent or professional workload, this can be presented orally. Any change to the committee and its makeup must be a top

priority at the top of the agenda. Ideally then each member should present a short speech or presentation reflecting

their work, targets and the feelings, ideas and will of the people they represent. An open discussion should follow withan aim to establish a clear to-do list for completion

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGS

This meeting will be held annually, normally in July, with at least 4 weeks notice to members and the public.

Changes to this constitution can be approved by the committee but must be ratified at an AGM.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETINGS

These can be called by the committee at any time and must be held within 28 days of the announcement..

MEMBERS

All members are expected to abide by the constitution of the club and uphold its honour.

A full member is a member that will pay a nominated membership fee and takes a level of proactive role within the

group. This role can be at any level on or off stage. A junior member, a member who is under the age of eighteen, hasthe same rights and responsibilities as a full member.

An associate member is either a parent/carer of a junior member or a member of the local community who wishes to

support the club.

An honouree lifetime member is a person who, once approved by the committee, has a full free lifetime membershipto the club which includes free admission to all performances.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

The club must have a Health and Safety Officer who must liase with local Police, Council and authorities, such as the

Criminal Record Bureau, so the club can try to comply with current legislation.

At this moment in time the Club charges this officer with carrying out Risk Assessments for generic rehearsals and for

each production and also charges the officer with further investigation into CRBs, First Aid and Health and Safetylegislation to find out what is required for our voluntary run community group.

The club will also appoint (for each event); a Fire Warden, whose responsibility is the safe evacuation of the locale

and notifying the relevant authorities, and First Aid officer, who must hold relevant qualifications, for each produc-

tion. Both of these positions will be issued with an appropriate high visibility jacket. For health and safety laws re-

garding the building and the locale the Club recognise the Village Hall Committee and refer to them.

The Emergency Assembly point for the Village Hall is at the rear of the Car Park next to the entrance to the scout hut.

All accidents or injuries must be reported within the Accident Book.

MEMBERSHIP FEES & BEHAVIOUR

The cost of membership is detailed along with a information relevant to behaviour and discipline in the

Code of Conduct. (Available from the Chairwoman or online at [email protected])

DISSOLUTION

In the extreme circumstance that the only viable option is to close the club the remaining funds must be donated to a

registered UK charity of the committees choosing.
