    From: All Club members registered in the previous playing year, who, since their registration, have participated in at least 60% of the scheduled games, shall have the right to be included in the player draft for the current year. Players who fail the 60% attendance rule during the current playing
    season shall have their membership terminated, subject to a review by the Executive Committee.


    TO: All Club members registered in the previous playing year have the right to
    be a playing member in the current year, providing they participated in 60%
    of the previous year's games and still meet by-law 1(a) requirements or at
    the discretion of the Executive Committee. It is a requirement that they
    register by the date specified by the Registration Committee for registration.

  5. Motion from Ariel Minelli
    1. Motion to make every game count and for the club to ensure that a qualified referee and linesmen are at every game.
    2. Motion to establish a process within the executive to review performance of the referees at all club games.

  6.  Proposed from Roger Knight for Constitutional Additions
    1. Article 2: Aims and objectives
      1. To establish transparency of day to day club business by allowing all playing members in good standing to attend regular club executive meetings but who will not be allowed to take part in the meeting unless with the express invitation of the executive. In the event of a need for privacy the club president shall have the option to close the meeting to all none executive members.
    2. Article 7: Appointed positions
      The Discipline Committee Chairman shall not be a club game official.

  7. Proposal from Murray De Pape for Constitutional Additions to By Law 20 “C”
    1. It is a player’s responsibility to attend scheduled games. A player that misses 8 games over the regular season will be eligible for replacement by the Convener. The registered player would also become ineligible for next seasons draft.
    2. A registered player will be considered a “no show”when they do not attend a scheduled game regardless of circumstance or notice given. An injured player that attends the game but does not play has demonstrated commitment to the team and club and will not be considered a “no show”
    3. Any player removed from the league for missing 8 games can participate in the BOTSC in future seasons and while they will be considered a returning player they will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list.
    4. Once a registered player has missed 7 games they have the option to resign prior to the 8th game in order to be eligible with priority for next seasons draft.
