Constitution

The Australian Golf Heritage Society is an Incorporated Association.

An incorporated association has its own legal identity separate from its members, providing protection to members in legal transactions.

An incorporated association can:

• enter into and enforce contracts, including the ability to hold, acquire and deal with property
• sue or be sued
• continue regardless of changes to membership.

While there are benefits to be gained from incorporation, there are also obligations. For example, incorporation requires the payment of application fees and requires the association to maintain proper financial and membership records and registers.

The Australian Golf Heritage Society operates under the Model Constitution as published by NSW Fair Trading. A copy of this document may be accessed via the links below.
