BECOMing
A MEMBER OF THE STAMFORD FORUM LIMITED
The Stamford Forum
is seeking to become a community interest company under the auspices of
the 2004 Companies Act. This will mean that the Forum will be able to
operate as a commercial enterprise, but, at the same time, will be non
profit-making. The value of the Forum's shares will never increase and
all profits will be returned to the community via the various activities
that the Forum engages in.
Membership of the
Forum, which is therefore a not-for-profit organisation, is open to all.
The requirement
will be a commitment to the values and ideas that drive the Forum and
which are set out in the Manifesto.
1. Founding
members
own 1000 shares at a total cost of £1 (Each share has a value of
£0.001p.) and donated £500
2. Active
members
are those who subscribe with a £10 monthly standing order (contact the
Company Secretary for further details). They will be able to attend the
regular one-day Stamford Forum meetings (approximately 5 one-day
meetings per year) and will receive the full notes of these meetings.
3. The
annual meeting will be open to all who wish to attend. (see
Events page for forthcoming dates). The meeting will also act as the
Stamford Forum’s AGM at which Directors will be appointed for the
following year.
