The Palmerston Forts Society Committee

The day-to-day organisation of the Palmerston Forts Society is managed in accordance with the Charities Commission requirement by the “Trustees”, which is more commonly referred to as the committee.

There are four “officers” of the committee and several “ordinary” members. All of the committee are members of the society and are elected by the society’s membership at the Annual General Meeting.  The members of the committee hold office for one year but can be re-elected and there are no term limits. The committee can also co-opt a limited number of additional members as advisors or for special tasks.

The “officers” are a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, a Secretary and a Treasurer.  It is normal practice for officers and ordinary members of the committee to take on specific operational responsibilities in addition to any formal role they have.

The smooth running of the society is dependant on the time and resources volunteered by the committee.  There are some long serving members of the committee and we are always looking for new members. If you are interested in joining the committee, look out for the papers that are issued before the Annual General Meeting in October every year.  This will tell you how to apply and whether there are any particular vacancies.
