Policy updates

The constitution has been renamed as the club's charter to avoid potential confusion given that our new company ProgClub Pty Ltd also has a constitution. Also John has nominated a successor for the position of Benevolent Dictator being SanguineV.

Announcing ProgClub Pty Ltd

Rather than being a wishy-washy club with no clear legal entity or owner ProgClub is now operated by ProgClub Pty Ltd. ProgClub Pty Ltd is an Australian company that receives sponsorship money from Blackbrick (and in the future potentially other sponsors) for the purposes of operating the club. Blackbrick and ProgClub Pty Ltd are in the process of negotiating the sponsorship terms and this will entail formal transfer of ProgClub assets to ProgClub Pty Ltd who will own them and operate them for the benefit of the club. The details of this formalisation will be made available when the sponsorship agreement is finalised. ProgClub Pty Ltd is owned by John Elliot and John Elliot is the sole Director, Secretary and Public Officer of ProgClub Pty Ltd. Basically John's new company has been set up to operate ProgClub. The company was registered with ASIC on the 19th January 2012.
