New Club Document tag

For the benefit of all Members a new tag has been established under "News & Reports" for access to a number of Club documents which will be loaded for member information.

At the June 2019 meeting of the General Committee, a Honorary Life Membership Policy was adopted.  This policy will assist the General Commitee in assessing any application for Honorary Life Membership of the Club.  Previously, no  guidelines or policy existed and this new policy will provide a clearer guidance for any application and criteria for assessment and process for granting of such an honour.
