1. The name of the Club is Bryanston Buffaloes.

2. The objects of the Club are to support the sport of rowing generally, particularly at Bryanston School, and to enable its members to associate together to promote that end.

3. Any person who is in sympathy with the objects of the Club shall be eligible to become a member of the Club and shall be regarded as a member from the time when he pays the subscription appropriate to him and shall not be required to be elected as a member. Both men and women shall be eligible to become members and in these Rules references to men include references to women.

4. A person shall cease to be a member if:

(a) he sends a written resignation to the Secretary,

(b) he fails to pay his subscription in any year and the Committee resolves that he be struck off the list of members, or

(c) the Committee resolves that he ceases to be a member (but so that the Committee shall not be bound to disclose the reason for so resolving).

5. The subscription to be paid by each member shall be determined from time to time by the Club at any general meeting. Subscription rates may provide for the payment of different subscriptions by different members or classes of members or for the payment of a single subscription in respect of two or more members from the same family. The Committee may waive the payment of a subscription by any member if it considers that there is good reason for doing so.

6. There shall be an Annual General Meeting of the Club in each year at a time and place to be fixed by the Committee. So far as possible not more than fifteen months shall be allowed to elapse between one Annual General Meeting and the next.

7. Other general meetings of the Club may be held from time to time if the Committee thinks it necessary to do so. The Secretary shall also convene a general meeting if not less than 15 members of the Club give notice in writing requiring him to do so.

8. General meetings shall be convened by not less than 14 days' notice in writing being given or sent to all members by such means as the Secretary shall consider appropriate.

9. The officers of the Club shall consist of a President, Vice-Presidents, a Chairman, a Secretary and a Treasurer. The President is the senior officer of the Club and shall take the chair at every general meeting at which he is present. The Chairman is the chief executive officer of the Club and shall take the chair at every meeting of the Committee at which he is present.

10. The first President, Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer shall be elected at the inaugural meeting of the Club and shall hold office until the end of the first Annual General Meeting. Subsequent holders of these offices shall be elected at each Annual General Meeting and shall hold office from the end of that meeting until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.

11. The Vice-Presidents of the Club shall be persons whose services to rowing at Bryanston School are considered to be worthy of special recognition. There shall be no limit on the number of Vice-Presidents. The first Vice-Presidents shall be elected at the inaugural meeting of the Club. Other Vice-Presidents may be elected at any Annual General Meeting, but no person shall be eligible to be elected after the inaugural meeting unless either

(a) he is proposed by the President, Chairman or Secretary on the recommendation of the Committee, or

(b) written notice of the intention to propose his election has been given to the Secretary not less than 7 days before the meeting at which his election is to be proposed and the Committee does not oppose such election.

Vice-Presidents shall hold office for life or until they resign by notice in writing given to the Secretary.

12. The Club shall be governed by a Committee which shall consist of the President, the Chairman, the Secretary, the Treasurer, the Masters in Charge of Boys' and Girls' rowing, the Captains of Boys' and Girls' Rowing, the Captain of the Bryanston Buffaloes Boat Club and not less than three nor more than seven Committee members elected and holding office in accordance with the next Rule.

13. The first Committee members shall be elected at the inaugural meeting of the Club and shall hold office until the end of the first Annual General Meeting. Subsequent Committee members shall be elected at each Annual General Meeting and shall hold office from the end of that meeting until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.

14. Without prejudice to the generality of its powers to conduct the affairs of the Club the Committee may:

(a) co-opt additional members, notwithstanding that the membership of the Committee is thereby increased above the maximum number specified in Rule 12:

(b) appoint any person to fill a casual vacancy occurring in any of the offices mentioned in Rule 10:

(c) appoint assistants to the Secretary or Treasurer.

Co-opted members of the Committee, persons appointed to fill casual vacancies and assistants to the Secretary and Treasurer shall hold office only until the end of the next following Annual General Meeting.

15. These Rules may be added to or varied by a resolution passed at any general meeting of the Club by two-thirds of the votes cast on such resolution. The President or the person taking the chair at any meeting at which a resolution adding to or varying these Rules is proposed may, however, refuse to allow such resolution to be put to the meeting if he considers that, having regard to the nature of the addition or alteration, insufficient notice of the proposal to move such resolution has been given to members.
