The Manchester United Club Constitution

All branch members are entitled to receive a copy of the accounts, either at the AGM or upon request by sending a stamped addressed envelope to the Treasurer. The accounts must be submitted for the attention of the General Manager, Ticketing and Membership for review. The Treasurer is responsible for the accounting for the branch. The accounts should be kept up to date and made available for any branch member upon request. Any branch member querying an entry/entries in the accounts should, in the first instance, direct their query to the Treasurer. If still dissatisfied their query should be put in writing for the attention of the General Manager, Ticketing and Membership.
             Branch Communications.
             The committee should ensure all branch members are communicated with on a regular basis and branches are encouraged to operate a branch website to inform members of key dates, publish minutes and branch constitution. The Club will provide a branch micro site template for use by branches for this purpose.
             Branch Travel - Alcohol.
             Branches are requested to note the Control of Alcohol Act 1985 ("the Act ") is not a Manchester United rule but a law of the land. For your information, the Act states: "Whilst on a train or supporters vehicle being used to carry passengers to or from a DESIGNATED SPORTING EVENT, it is an offence to knowingly allow intoxicating liquor to be carried OR be in possession of it OR be drunk during the whole or part of the journey.".
             The police have the power to arrest any person that they reasonably suspect has committed/or is committing this "crime." This extends to the person who hires out the vehicle, drives the vehicle or to whom it is hired. It is important to note that the Act applies to ANY vehicle adapted to carry more than 8 passengers and is carrying 2 or more.
             IMPORTANT NOTES.
             Payments.
             No ticket applications can be accepted without payment. Branches must ensure that they have sufficient funds in their account when paying by cheque or credit card, noting that credit card transactions are subject to a booking fee.
