The Constitution sets out the aims of the Monmouth Community Choir and how we organise ourselves in pursuing them.
One of the points in the Constitution says that it must be established with the approval of at least three-quarters of those present at the first AGM. We found that having a Constitution was necessary to apply for funding from various sources, before we had had the opportunity to hold an AGM, so the current Constitution was adopted by unanimous agreement of the Committee in October 2019. It is still subject to confirmation at the first AGM.
We also have a Health and Safety Policy. Both these documents can be downloaded using he links below.

One of the first orders of business, at least for the Committee, is to come up with a draft constitution for the Choir, which can then be voted on at the first AGM. The significance of the constitution is that it is a basic requirement for all sorts of funding applications. As an organisation that takes money from people for a service it’s also good practice for us to be open and transparent about how we operate. Once a draft constitution has been produced it will be posted here to allow choir members to comment before we take it to a vote at the AGM.
The Monmouth Community Choir Committee is currently made up of 10 people. As the choir has only just been formed (we started in November 2018) we haven’t yet had an AGM so none of the Committee members have been voted in by the choir – so this is an interim Committee until the first AGM which should take place some time in March.
