melmac Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 A few things, it may be nit picking but heyho:- Definitions Should "the Area" not be be more specifically identified as the local authority area, in this instance Renfrewshire Council area otherwise it could be argued that Renfrewshire includes the likes of Port Glasgow, Greenock etc which is really Inverclyde. As an aside, I understand one of our main sponsors is / was particularly dischuffed with the not paying minimum wage palarva that they may take their sponsorship to a direct competitor in the Inverclyde area. 4.3 As St Mirren are defined, should it not be "playing a role in helping the Club be more successful;" General Meetings Any surplus shall be dealt with at the AGM. I presume the 3 monthly spend monies should actually form part of the surplus, should this not really be addressed - being spent quarterly as opposed to annually?

stlucifer Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 No offence meant but is an open forum the right place to be requesting these amendments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmac Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 No offence taken, point taken. It may be a thought for the powers that be to have a SMISA member only forum. That being said, the constitution is a public document and the revisals proposed don't look particularly controversial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Renfrewshire to which you refer ceased to exist when Strathclyde Region came into existence more than 40 years ago, when it was split into Renfrew, Inverclyde and Eastwood Districts. If "the area" is defined as the present Renfrewshire council area Barrhead and Neilston would be excluded as they are part of East Renfrewsahire..

That's exactly why you need to pin down the definition of "area", otherwise it leaves a lot open for interpretation or misinterpretation.
