Introductory

objects as donation useful arts politics or protection and development of their common interest etc It has a

definite organisation which continues in cidstence for an undetermined time and is governed by certain rules

regulations deed of settlement or bye-laws to which the members conform

Kinds of club

A club may be a members club or a proprietary club In the former case the properties of the club vest in the

members while in the latter case an individual or a firm or a limited company owns the property while the

members are allowed to make use of that property on certain terms The membersrsquo club may be an

unincorporated society or may be registered under the Indian Companies Act or Societies Registration Act

In a proprietary club the owner or the owners as the case may be run it for the purposes of gain while in a

membersrsquo club it is not so Such a club is not a partnership nor even a quasi-partnership It may be notedthat under the Societies Registration Act it is permissible for the registration of a club for the purposes of

promotion of science literature or the fine arts for instruction the diffusion of political education thefoundation or maintenance of libraries or reading rooms for the use of members or for promotion of other

allied objects It is necessary in a society or club so registered that the Memorandum of Association shouldcontain the name of the society the objects of the society the names addresses and occupations of thegovernorrsquos council directors committee or other governing body to whom by the rules of the society the

of Association with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies of the State The proceedings of such a societymust conform to the provisions of the Society Registration Act XXI of 1860 If the membersrsquo club is

registered under the Indian Companies Act it must also conform to the provisions of that Act

Some fundamental rules

In framing rule for an unincorporated members club it must be borne in mind that unless the constitution of the

club provides for amendment of the rules when necessary no alteration of the rules thereafter is possible insuch matters as subscription or other fundamental objects of the company For instance If the rules do not

provide for alteration in the monthly or annual subscription a resolution by the majority of the members of aclub enhancing the rates of such subscriptions is not operative on the dissentient members of the club The

amended rules however operate even against the old members if otherwise valid and not incompatible withthe fundamental objects of the club though passed at a subsequent time It is usual to provide for the

admission of members their resignation md re-admission
