The Club shall be called the Cambridge University Volleyball Club.
The objects of the Club are to promote the playing of volleyball at all
levels in the University.
The Committee shall consist of the President, Men's
Captain, Women's Captain and Junior Treasurer. It shall be the
responsibility of the Captains to organise coaching for all levels of the

Team. The Committee may, at its discretion, co-opt additional Committee
members where it perceives a need, or to fill vacancies than may
arise.
The Secretary shall call a meeting when elections for Committee members
are necessary, giving at least seven day's notice.
Membership is open to all members of the university and any other who
may apply to the Committee. There shall be an annual fee for membership which shall be
fixed by the Committee. The Club shall not refuse membership on the grounds of race,
sexuality, religion or political views. It may, however, expel any member for behaviour
likely to bring the Club into disrepute. All members have full voting rights at Club
meetings.
The Annual General Meeting of the Club shall be held each year at the
end of the Lent Term or at the beginning of the Easter Term at the Committee's discretion.
The time and the venue of this meeting will be publicised by the Committee at least seven
Full Term days beforehand.
A Senior Treasurer shall be appointed by the Committee each year to
audit the Club's books. The Senior Treasurer shall be exempt from liability for all debts
other than those that he/she has personally authorised in writing.
This constitution shall only be amended by a two-thirds majority of all
members at an AGM or a meeting specifically called for that purpose for which at least one
week's notice has been given.
In the event of the Club folding, any remaining funds shall be returned
to the University Sports Syndicate.
