MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANISATION

We are partially a selected and partially a democratically elected organisation made up of cheerleaders (ordinary members), parents and club officers. These officers shall form the committee and shall include The Founder/Owner, a member of our teams Management Committee and at least two democratically elected members, either cheerleaders or parents. On resignation of any democratically elected officer, an election shall be held to replace the said officer. This will be at the earliest meeting where every parent and cheerleader has full voting rights. Parents are actively encouraged to participate at all levels in running the squad. Club officers carry out their specific duties, which are set in section two of this handbook, on a voluntary basis. No payments are made to any officer except where the committee or owner agrees to pay an honorarium for services provided or to compensate officers for expenses incurred during the course of their duties, to include car expenses, petrol allowance and telephone costs.

ACCOUNTS

Annual accounts will be prepared for publication at each Annual General Meeting. Accounting records will be recorded by the club manager/founder from which the treasurer will provide monthly accounts to the committee. These accounts shall be audited independently on an annual basis. The club treasurer will prepare annual accounts for inclusion in the annual report to be submitted at the Annual General Meeting.

UNIFORMS

OUR POLICY NOW IS THAT ALL CHEERLEADERS MUST PURCHASE THEIR UNIFORMS. WE REQUEST THAT WHEN THE CHEERLEADER LEAVES THAT THESE BE DONATED BACK TO THE ICE GEMS WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO BUILD UP A STOCK TO REPELISH WORN OUT, OUTGROWN UNIFORMS. THE UNIFORMS SHALL BE ISSUED AS SOON AS YOUR CHILD JOINS THE ICE GEMS AND THE TOTAL COST OF ITEMS ISSUED WILL BE ADDED TO THEIR ACCOUNT. THIS WILL ALLOW THE CHEERLEADER THE OPPORTUNITY TO FUNDRIASE THESE COSTS TOO. HOWEVER, SHOULD THE CHEERLEADER LEAVE WITH AN OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT FOR ANY REASON THESE WILL BE PAYABLE WITH-IN 14 DAYS TO THE SQUAD.

THE SQUADS POLICY WILL BE TO REFER ALL OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS TO THE GOVERNING BODY FOR RESTRICTIONS TO BE APPLIED TO THE CHEERLEADER UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ALL FEES OWED ARE REPAID TO THE SQUAD AND ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT AND UNIFORMS RETURNED.
