The CNCC Committee is comprised of 10-14 of our full member clubs (plus an Individual Caver Representative) who are elected at our Annual General Meeting each year to serve for a period of one year.
The Committee is typically comprised of a mix of clubs, including large and well-established northern clubs who have been with us for decades, to student clubs, and much smaller or newer clubs. This mixture is welcomed to ensure diversity.
The role of the CNCC Committee is to enact the wishes of our full members, as well as to work through the year to address any matters that arise. Committee members are also encouraged to bring forward ideas for how the CNCC could be better serving the needs of northern cavers.
Being a club on the CNCC Committee requires you to send a representative to our three Committee meetings each year (this representative can be a different person each time), to provide ideas to improve northern caving, and to vote on proposals.
The voting representative may be instructed by their club ahead of the meeting, or clubs may leave decisions to their representative’s discretion. However, the representative should ideally have enough knowledge of the club’s general positions to allow them to get involved in debates and decisions that stray slightly from the agenda.
The CNCC committee consists of between 10 and 14 clubs elected each year at the AGM to represent all cavers and make decisions about issues affecting caving such as access and conservation projects. Each of these clubs has one vote at committee meetings (all full member clubs have one vote at an AGM).
Below is a list of the committee memebers as elected at the last AGM...
All full members are eligible to apply.
To stand for the CNCC Committee, you must provide notification of your intention at least EIGHT WEEKS before our AGM. Providing notification is very simple; an officer of your club should send an email (or write a letter if you prefer) to the Secretary. You should ideally supply a short, informal statement, telling us a little about your club, your reasons for wishing to stand, and any other information you feel is relevant to your application.
This statement will be shared with all full members ahead of the AGM to allow an informed vote to be made at the meeting.
A representative from your club should ideally attend the AGM to answer any questions.
