Commitment

As a member of the KCF Committee, you are expected to attend most meetings of the full Committee and get involved in the some of the sub-committees organising individual events.

You will also endeavour to help promote KCF activities within your year groups and liaise with the relevant form reps.

How the Committee is appointed

Any Kew College parent or member of staff may offer their services to become a member of the KCF Committee.

Each year there is a natural wastage whereby parents leave the KCF as their children leave Kew College to senior schools or where people leave the area.  Each year there will be a natural outflow of KCF Committee members, who will need to be replaced.

Existing Committee members should give the Committee a term’s notice of leaving, so that adequate time is given to find a replacement.

The posts of Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary are for a two-year period, re-electable if so desired and approved by the Committee.

Committee members may serve for as long as they wish.

Accounts

Accounts are held by and presented to the Committee annually.  Year end is August.

All events organised must be self-funding.

Any cheques greater than £5000 in value must have two signatures as usual, however one of those signatories must be a representative of the school.

 

Sub-Committees

Sub-Committees will be set up as required for the organisation of individual events.  Sub Committees must keep the main Committee/Chairperson informed at all times.

Meetings

Held every 4 weeks or as required.
