Happy New Year from the Clarion

Attached (see below) are the provisional motions to conference for sections to consider, or to propose amendments to. We are sending you the same documents in the post tomorrow. Please return any amendments to get to the address below by the 6th of February.

Ideally you will have the opportunity to discuss these motions at your section's AGM (or comittee
meeting at the least). Given that you may only have one AGM between now and Easter, I suggest
that you ask your members to vote on how you would like to vote for or against each of these motions.
Sections will also need to nominate a delegate for conference (Easter April 11th) and mandate them
how to represent the wishes of your section.

Final conference agenda will be sent out towards the end of February or Early March and will include
nominated officers.

Yours in cycling fellowship, wishing you a healthy and safe 2009.

Motions to conference (provisional)

(these motions are subject to approval by NCCC committee and standing orders vers 1)

a. Motion to conference (by Nat' Comm'):

That conference authorises the National Committee to increase subscriptions by a maximum
of £1 or 10% on the condition that liquid funds drop below £4,500.

Amendment by Bury Section:
Amendment : The minute to be reviewed each conference.

b. Motion to conference (by Nat' Comm') Replace rule 9.4 with:

There are three classes of records for both males and females:

i) All comers (any age)
ii) Junior (18 and under) age related records
iii) Veteran (40 and over) age related records

For age related records to qualify, in the case of juniors a faster time must not already exist
for a younger aged rider. In the case of veterans, a faster time must not already exist for an older rider.

A member wishing to claim a Clarion record shall satisfy the following requirements:

i) Claimants must be paid up members of the National Clarion Cycling Club at the time of the record/event.
ii) For time trials, Open or Association Events * only to count. For track events, approved British Cycling
Events only to count.
iii) Claims shall be supported with a copy of the official result sheet or other appropriate document.
iv) Claims for Clarion records should be submitted to the Racing Secretary as soon as possible. For the
avoidance of doubt this should be taken to mean not later than the end of the year in which the record was
broken. In exceptional cases, including those where a new class of record is to be established, the National
Committee will consider at their discretion, retrospective claims for records on the proviso that all of the
previous conditions have been met.

All record breakers shall be presented with a certificate at the following Annual (Easter) Meet.

Note * Association Event may include National Clarion events run as Type B events as defined in CTT
Regulations. For such events to qualify, both the course and timekeeper(s) must be CTT approved and
an official start & result sheet produced.

c. Motion to conference (by Nat' Comm') new rule 4.8:

Committee shall reserve the right to refuse membership applications at their discretion without
having to state a reason.

Amendment by Stockport Section: Amend to read:
Committee shall reserve the right to refuse membership applications at their discretion and
shall state a reason for refusal to that applicant.

d. Motion to conference (by Nat' Comm') change rule 6.5:

Card votes at Conference shall be on the basis of one vote for each full member of a Section,
based on the number of full members in that Section a clear fourteen days before Conference.

e. Motion to conference (by Bury Section) change rule 4.4:

'…save that subscriptions paid by new members on or after 1st October shall remain
valid for membership until 31st December of the following year…'
Amend to read:
'…save that subscriptions paid by new members on or after 1st September shall remain valid for
membership until 31st December of the following year…'

f. Motion to conference (by Bury Section) change rule 4.2

Re-number current rule 4. 2 iii - to Rule 4.2 iv then new subsection.
New Subsection Rule 4.2. (iii) Young: under 18 at time of joining. A Young member does not to
pay the National Subscription and they will not be included in a section's block voting strength
nor can they vote at conference on any issue where the block vote does not apply. A young member
qualifies for a membership card, all championships and other awards but is not entitled to be on the
mailing list for Boots & Spurs.

Secretary's note: this would effectively mean two types of U18 membership; Junior (paid) 4.2 ii and
Young (free) 4.2 iii, both would be members but Young (free) would have limited benefits.

g (a). Motion to conference (by Fenland Section) new rule 4.8 or 4.9:

New rule 4.8 or 4.9
All members of Clarion sections shall be National Clarion members and shall pay the prevailing
national membership fee in addition to their local section membership fee.

Secretary's note: for the above motion to be carried, Fenland are in effect proposing an extra motion to conference which is the underlined part of the following statement:

Note:
We (the Fenland section) feel that if you join the Clarion (or one of it's sections), you are a Clarion
member and should therefore pay the necessary fee. There should be no opting out. If you don't want
to be in the Clarion, then don't join a Clarion club. That may sound a bit strong and of course we need to
continue to encourage all section members to take part in national activities and enjoy the camaraderie
that there is between all our members.
We realise that at the moment, some sections have members who don't pay the national membership,
therefore we suggest that any section members whose membership has lapsed during the last 2 years,
shall be given free membership for 2009, extending the fellowship and benefits of National Clarion
membership.
From 2010 onwards all section members will also be required to pay the national membership fee.
Of course the upside is that the National Clarion will have a larger membership, the downside to
such a proposal is that we may possibly lose some sections, but hopefully no members. Those
who still choose not to be members of the national club, will not be lost in any case.

g (b). Motion to conference (by Fenland) taken with New Rule above

Any section members whose membership has lapsed during the last 2 years, shall be given
free membership for 2009.

STANDING ORDERS

National Clarion Cycling Club (hereinafter referred to as NCCC) General Meeting Procedures

These procedures have been drawn up in an attempt to bring together all the sources of guidance
regarding Annual Conference: the preparatory stages, the meeting itself, dissemination of Conference
decisions, and the bringing into action of the decisions reached.

Several sources have been consulted. They include:
· NCCC Constitution and Rules, dated 7 April 2007
· NCCC Standing Orders for Annual Conference (undated)
· NCCC Annual Conference Agenda 2007
· Citrine's ABC of Chairmanship (Cannell & Citrine, London 1982)
· The Co-operative Group General Meeting Procedures (2007), Rule Book (2004),
Regional Regulations (2003)
· The Co-operative Party Rule Book and Guidance (2007)
· Standing Orders of Upper Beeding Parish Council (2006)
· The Right Way to conduct Meetings, Conferences and Discussions (Taylor and Mears, London 1994)

Wherever possible, these procedures are taken directly from the NCCC Rule Book and the NCCC
Standing Orders for National Conference. New material has been introduced for those aspects of
conduct of meetings which either the current (undated) Standing Orders do not mention or have
become custom and practice not automatically known by more recent attendees to Annual Conference.

R J Harber NCCC Standing Orders Secretary - February 2008
