GROUP POLICIES
One Seat Rule
Only one person from any business category is allowed to join. Once a seat is taken no visitors from the same category will be eligible to attend. (e.g. only one electrician, one undertaker, one photographer… etc). Members may however agree to waive this 'rule' if a request to join is agreed to beneficial. For example an "estate agent" may be able to join where our "letting agent" agrees that the association would be beneficial...
Right of Veto
Members have a right of veto on any potentially conflicting membership application (e.g. our sign writer might decide to veto a dedicated vehicle wrapping business, or a civil engineer may decide to veto an application from a structural engineer) – although this is strongly discouraged...
Joining
Eligible Visitors (i.e. non members) are invited to attend for up to 2 meetings before being asked to make a commitment to join on their third visit. Once these visits are used you may not visit again without joining us.
Attendance
While we have no strictly enforced 'rule' on attendance, nut it is important to stress that regular attendance is beneficial for both the member - and the group as a whole.
Absence for 4 or more consecutive weeks (without apology or good reason) will be considered intention to leave the group. It is encouraged for those who cannot attend to send a stand-in in their place.
Group Council
Every application will be openly discussed and voted on prior to a member being accepted. Likewise on any important matter affecting the group every member will have 1 vote (however the residing chairman – Group Leader – will have a casting vote). A majority vote is required in all cases.
MLM Marketing
Sorry, but we don't accept applications from multi-level marketing businesses.
