Re: Charity Commission says CTC can be a charity

I am still trying to find out what actual changes are proposed. The magazine shows the new articles, but not the old. I have sent a message to Head Office, but no reply as yet. Is it too much to ask for a complete, clear summary of the proposed changes, in one easily accessible place?

An Alternative proposal.

There is obviously a fair bit of ill-feeling and confusion around this whole area. As a Chartered Accountant I find some of the explanations far from clear and I certainly sympathise with anyone who doesn't understand them, especially the tangled relationship between the Trust and the Club. I also sympathise with those who feel that they want to belong to a membership club not a charity.
I would therefore like to propose that the AGM considers an alternative:
Separate the Club from the Trust, so that governance is separate and all transactions are at arms length
Reduce the membership fee, as the accounts demonstrate that the Club subsidises the Trust.
Allow Members to make an additional donation at the time of paying their membership fee, which would be paid to the Trust and would attract Gift Aid.

I welcome comments.

Re: Further Reading

viewtopic.php?f=38&t=33025

There was a meeting between Kevin Mayne and some anti-campaigners in February, and Kevin promised to publish the information from that meeting. I couldn't find the info, but Peter Jackson (ops director) has found it for me.
I would have expected this info to be provided as part of the "further reading" together with Kevin's original letter and perhaps even some notes from the meeting.
