Club Executive Committee

The Club's affairs are managed by an Executive Committee, in accord with the Club's constitution. A copy of the constitution can be downloaded by scrolling to the bottom of this page.

The Club is run by a committee of 14 Office Bearers. The Committee meets on the first Thursday of the month at 7.00pm in a private room upstairs at the Daniel O'Connell Hotel, Tynte Street, North Adelaide. Members are welcome to attend as observers at committee meetings or to forward topics for discussion to any member of the Committee. All financial members are eligible to stand for office and are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting. The Annual General meeting is conducted in March of each year.
