District Committee Roles

See section 11(c) of the Ely DA's Rules and section 4 of the Ely DA's Regulations.

The activities of the District are organised by a committee of volunteers who are elected annually by the members of the District at the Annual District Meeting.

The Ely DA's rules list five 'officers' that each District is required to elect; in addition, someone has to be appointed to collect membership fees. Districts are allowed to elect any other officers and ringing members that they consider necessary. All of these form the committee.

The Ely DA rules also require Districts to nominate a member as a Trustee of the Association Bell Restoration Fund every 5 years, and a member to serve as a representative to the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers every 3 years. These nominations are subsequently ratified at the Association AGM.
