The Community Centre was set up as a Trust Property for the use of ‘a Community Association formed to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Delamere and Oakmere’. Membership of the Association is therefore open to all local residents, as well as others who wish to participate in the activities that run at the Centre. It is not necessary to join the Association in order to use the facilities but being a member costs just £7.00 per year and confers a number of useful and valuable rights, including:
- voting on matters that require a general vote at the AGM
- standing for election to the Management Committee
- preferential rates when hiring rooms at the hall (see Lettings Policy)
People for the most part become members through their respective activity sections and a list of new members and their subscriptions are then forwarded to the Treasurer. It is also possible to apply directly using the Membership Application form attached.
All residents are encouraged to become members so that the whole community can participate in managing day-to-day activities as well as helping to shape the future of the Community Centre
