General Committee

• Our Constitution allows us to have up to fifteen members plus co-optees and no less than five members. 
• We must always have a Chair, a Secretary and a Treasurer to maintain our legal status.  The rest of the positions on the Committee do not have special legal responsibilities attached to them but are still vitally important to the running of the Committee and the Pre-school. 
• The Committee views it as being extremely important that all members feel equally valued and able to contribute in meetings and in all areas of our operation.  We aim to be inclusive of everyone and to share the workload equally. 
• If you have a particular skill or interest you would like to bring to the Committee, please feel free to discuss this openly and we will try to build it into your role. 
• We offer relevant training to Committee members where necessary and any costs incurred doing Committee business are reimbursed as expenses.
