Special General Meeting – 5th May 2025

There will be a Special General meeting – 5th May 2025 @ 6.30pm (followed by Monthly Captain meeting)

Purpose: To change fees and Membership outside of an AGM as set out in ACTEBA Constitution – Item 5. Memberships & Item 6. Subscriptions

The Core Executive call and SGM to review above mentioned items to allow the association to incorporate the new AEBF Affiliation structure.

A brief outline of some options have been indicated below. The week prior to the SGM an agenda and formal motion of a proposed membership and fee structure will be provided for all members to review. The association will also run a poll to gather feedback prior to the meeting to ensure a structure that aligns with our associations goals and growth is adopted.

The following options are some initial thoughts on ways forward.

  1. ACTEBA moves all registration for event to PlayHQ and a AEBF Affiliation fee be attached to registration
  2. A members fees to join the association and/or play in event proposed to change to one of or a combination of the following:
    1. One off annual Membership fee to play in any ACTEBA Event based on whether you are a representative player or regular season player
    2. One off annual Membership fee to play in any ACTEBA Event at a fixed rate (same for any member)
    3. A tiered entry fee for members to play in league of selections trials, based on representative status or regular league player
    4. A tiered entry fee for members to play in league of selections trials, based on what division you play in
    5. ACTEBA adjust fees to partially subsidise the AEBF affiliation (which the associations currently pays $4000pa), to maintain the current financial position. Some financial reports and forecast will be provided to show the short and long term impact of what changing fees now will do

Please note, these are just broad ideas, and we are not limited to these options at this point. A lower-level detail of proposal will be provided prior to the meeting.
