A full
house – well, thirty is very good going for a Special General Meeting –
gathered last Sunday Jan 29th for tea, cake and a unanimous vote that
the current Dean Court Community Centre Association should eventually be
dissolved and the Dean Court Community Association formed as a charitable
company limited by guarantee. This
will limit the liability of those responsible for the Association, but also
crucially give us a significant and widely recognised legal structure that will
ensure we are accountable for the way we use our resources.
While
anyone living in Dean Court was automatically a member of the unincorporated
DCCCA, being a member of the new DCCA will involve opting in and signing up!
Opting in to being a member of the charitable company, signing up to give £10
in the event that it is dissolved whilst in debt. The Trustees will continue
into being Trustee-Directors (yep, they are what they sound like!) of the new
Association and the Management Team will continue to work their little socks
off to bring the Community Centre itself to life.
Membership
will still be open to anyone living in Dean Court and will now be extended to
the whole Parish of Cumnor, with Associate Membership available for those who live
further afield still. We hope you will join with us in demonstrating our commitment to a
great future for our community!
