Association of RAF Fighter Control Officers

Issued in accordance with Rule 48 of the Rules of the Association

The Committee is constituted in accordance with Rules 17 to 23 and is charged with the day-to-day management of the Association's affairs, within any financial or policy-based parameters set by an Annual General Meeting. Rule 21 permits the Committee to co-opt additional voting members of the Committee - for a specific purpose - but, often, it will be neither practical nor appropriate to increase the Committee membership, when all that is required is the good counsel of those Association members with experience apposite to the question in hand.

16d. Honorary Vice-Presidents. An Honorary Vice-President shall be given full access to the Committee forum area of the Association website and Message Board in order to permit informed contribution to any Committee discussion, without any obligation to provide such contribution. Such access shall not confer membership of the Committee nor any associated voting rights other than those applicable to a Full Association Member.

7. Application Procedure. If an applicant for Full or Associate Membership is deemed to be eligible for such membership in accordance with Rule 2 or Rule 3, an interim or provisional registration shall be made by the Secretary - in accordance with Rule 8 - and the applicant so informed; the applicant shall simultaneously be requested to complete and submit a standing order mandate, in accordance with Rule 12. The applicant will, from the point the completed standing order mandate is received and actioned by the Treasurer, enjoy the benefit of membership of the Association (including but not limited to full website and Message Board access and subsidised attendance at any Association function), but such membership shall cease if the applicant's subscription payment is not made on or immediately after the due date - as required by Rule 12 - at the discretion of the Committee; Rule 9 shall not apply in this case.
