    Golf Club Subscription Refund due to Lockdown.

    Thanks to those who contributed. A little more quiet digging has left me in no doubt the Club is in a highly vulnerable position. There are no T&C's, you simply agree to abide by the Mems and Arts upon becoming a member. There is nothing anywhere that covers them for "circumstances beyond our...

    Golf Club Subscription Refund due to Lockdown.

    Hi eteb3, Forcing a windup is the way many members are thinking but you're quite correct, the SLM's will be out in force and you always get apathy from too many rank and file members. Apparently the SLM's could vote to change the mems and arts to abolish the status but they would be the only...

    Golf Club Subscription Refund due to Lockdown.

    Hi Ian, I believe a letter asking for donations/contributions has been sent out. Not sure what the uptake has been. I believe in an ordinary year the Club does get voluntary contributions from the SLM's of around £8000 from the 131 of them. Average £61 each vs £1200!

    Golf Club Subscription Refund due to Lockdown.

    Hi All, Thanks for your replies. There is a slightly bigger picture that I didn't explain in the first post. The Club is on a knife edge financially, in fact a lack of funds is seeing a steady decline in standards and presentation. The Club has 505 paying members and 131 "Senior Life...

    Golf Club Subscription Refund due to Lockdown.

    Hi All, Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to whether members of a golf club (which is a limited company and all members hold 1 share) are entitled to a pro-rata refund of their subscription fees for the period that we were unable to play because of lockdown? This link to the CMA seems...

    Memorandum and Articles not updated at Companies House.

    Hi Resolver and thanks. The vote to discontinue completely free golf was passed on the 18th November 1994. Anyone joining after 1st April 1995 would only get discounted golf. I have to confess when I joined 15 years ago, I can't recall if it was mentioned that I would only get a discount when...

    Memorandum and Articles not updated at Companies House.

    No need, I can do that to myself! My issue is there's a load of old people who joined before 1995 who get free golf for life when they've been a member for 25 years and reached the age of 65. As waiting lists for golf courses disappeared it became obvious that this wasn't sustainable so the...

    Memorandum and Articles not updated at Companies House.

    The Articles don't state when any amendments or resolutions were passed so I don't think Companies House are any the wiser whether they are lodged in time. I guess that would require an eagle-eyed whistleblower to shop the directors?

    Memorandum and Articles not updated at Companies House.

    Useful thanks. What I can't understand is that: - There was no updating of the Articles in 1994 at Companies House. When they were updated in 2003 there is no mention of the amendment, then in the 2018 update it magically appears?

    Memorandum and Articles not updated at Companies House.

    Thanks WaveJumper. Yes, that re-states the 15 day dead-line. Does anyone know if non-compliance renders the resolution/amendment void?

    Memorandum and Articles not updated at Companies House.

    Hi All, I'm a member of a golf club that is a limited company. According to Companies House the Mems & Arts were updated in 1974, 2003, 2018 and 2019. A resolution was passed at the AGM in 1994 that was supposed to take effect in 1995. There is no mention of this amendment to the Articles in...

    Please review our website - Divorce Actually.

    Hi Fisicx, I wasn't actually planning on sending students out with sandwich boards and certainly not with that message on. I do think however, that of the 8300 first divorces started each year that are petitioned for on the grounds of adultery, you would get results. You've got 8300 people...

    Please review our website - Divorce Actually.

    Nothing is cast in stone, all ideas or suggestions are taken on board. The 1/100th of your divorce cost figure seems to be a reasonable balance to me. I think it is a financially worthwhile sum to entice sellers and an economically justifiable figure for a buyer. The documents may only give...

    Just checking some numbers but am thinking when COVID restrictions are over paying students to stand outside Family Courts with a sandwich board on that says "Not sure how you're going to pay for your next holiday in Mauritius? Turn you divorce experience into a lucrative income stream. Call...

    They don't have to buy countless documents in the hope of finding something useful in the financial agreement. They enter their details, age, length of marriage etc in the search criteria. (We are going to get the search improved so they can put ranges in as well such as equity in marital...
