Meeting – Revised Constitution & Bylaws

On Sunday February 15, 2015 a Special General Meeting will be held at 2 pm in the clubhouse for the purpose of passing a Special Resolution to replace the existing 1993 Constitution and Bylaws with the revised January 2015 version.

Whereas a motion was made and adopted by those accredited members present at the Annual General Meeting held January 13, 2013 which directed that the existing Constitution and Bylaws (1993) be reviewed and revised, the following resolution is hereby made:

Replace the existing Constitution and Bylaws of the Whitehorse Rifle & Pistol Club dated March 11, 1993 in its entirety with the revised version dated January 15, 2015.

Revisions include an extended time period for scheduling the Annual General Meeting, more detail on roles and responsibilities of club leadership, identification of a Board of Directors, clarification of procedures governing meetings, and addition of guidance policies.

The final version of the Constitution and Bylaws is available here for your reference. WRPC CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS REVISED 2015

January 2015 Membership Open House

Shake the January blues on Sunday January 11th, 2015 from 10 am to 4 pm.

Come out to the clubhouse and renew your membership, have a coffee, chat with friends, check out the Swap Meet and hang around for a short general meeting.

The Annual General Meeting will be scheduled for March 2015. New year gate keys will be issued then, so hang on to your current (2014) key.  The date change for the AGM was made to accommodate our required financial review for 2014 by a professional accountant and to have the Constitution and Bylaw revisions approved and ready for implementation with the next election of club executives.
