The By-Laws refer to the internal rules of Sandringham Yacht Club (SYC) and they are binding on all members and visitors. As per section 34 of the Constitution, General Committee is empowered to make, repeal and amend any By-Laws. Some By-Laws require significant detail and these, if required, are set out in supporting club policies and fee schedules. The By-Laws can be changed at any time by General Committee and are also subject to an annual review on the General Committee agenda. At this meeting annual fee changes will be ratified.
Sitting above the By-Laws, the SYC Constitution is our set of fundamental principles and rules according to which our organisation is governed. Changes to the Constitution can only be made and voted on by members at General Meetings. In the event of an inconsistency between the Constitution and the By-Laws, the Constitution prevails.
