– Each Regular, Intermediate Associate, Legacy, and Provisional Member is required to attend both General Meetings per year: Nov and May (NOTE: the club operates on a Calendar Year from June 1 through May 31, so the first meeting of the year is in November)
– If you attend one meeting in person, you can proxy the other one (see proxy form)
– NO meeting credit will be given for a proxy unless you attend the other semi-annual meeting in person
– Members will be fined $100 for each missed meeting. For example, if a member proxies November and misses May, they will be fined $200 for missing both meetings.
MBBC By-Laws require voting members to attend both Semi-Annual Meetings each year. Only one meeting per year can be proxied, the other must be in person. (Playing members are not voting members and do not attend)
A member is allowed to proxy ONE meeting during the year: Either the 1st meeting in November or the 2nd meeting in May, BUT ONLY IF they attend the other meeting in person. No meeting credit will be given for a proxy unless you attend the other meeting in person. Members will be fined $100 for each missed meeting.
Proxy forms must be submitted PRIOR to the meeting, and can be put in the Club Drop Box (outside Kitchen) or sent to our PO Box, but if you want proof of receipt, you should email it to proxies@mbbadmintonclub.com.
To email, simply scan your signed proxy or take a photo of it with your phone. We will auto-reply with acknowledgement of your email.
General Meetings are a great opportunity to socialize with other members, receive updates from Board Members, and to discuss and vote on Club issues. The MBBC was founded on a participatory membership, and thus our by-laws state that attendance is required for all Regular, Provisional, Intermediate, and Legacy members.
The club operates on an annual calendar from June 1 through May 31. We hold the Fall meeting on the first Sunday in November and the Spring meeting on the third Sunday in May.
