How We are Organised

The Committee is the BF U3A executive body, it comprises the statutory posts of

Chairman, Vice-Chairman

Treasurer & Admin Secretary

and some 7 other 'ordinary' committee members.

The Committee must be elected/re-elected at the AGM in May each year.

(No-one may be Chairman or Vice-Chairman for more than 3 consecutive years.)

The main work of the BF U3A is carried out by the various Interest Groups. Each Interest Group needs a Coordinator who has overall responsibility for that Group but is not necessarily the person that leads individual sessions. Like the BF U3A itself, each Group must meet its own expenses - usually through a small contribution each time a member attends.

The Committee delegates specific duties to numerous other members. These duties include:

Minutes Secretary

Membership Secretary

Open Meeting Organiser

Public Relations Officer

Group Coordinator Contact

Study Information Contact

Newsletter Editor(s)

Webmaster/Webeditor

Newsletter Copying & Mailing Team

Door staff for Open Meetings

Refreshment Team for Open Meetings (supplied by each Interest Group in turn)

For several of these duties, it is either necessary or desirable that they be undertaken by Committee Members.
