About this document

This is a comprehensive legal document setting out the terms and conditions for a cricket club or association. Associations of this type are called ‘unincorporated associations’.

An unincorporated association means any two or more people, who have come together to form a club to pursue some common purpose. Mutual rights and responsibilities arise from the rules which they agree to – that is, this agreement. This agreement sets out the terms on which the club will be constituted, who controls its administration and its funds and specifies its purpose and goals.

Unlike a company, this association has not been ‘incorporated’. It therefore has no legal identity of its own and cannot own property, except through the members as trustees. However, there are ways of dealing with this, as illustrated by this agreement.

This document has been drawn specifically for a club of any kind. As members of many such groups and clubs will want to drink alcohol when they attend the club, we have included an alcohol licence and paragraphs relating to property ownership.

Very useful, great value for money, positive experience when I asked questions. I'd have no hesitation in using or recommending Net Lawman. Only niggle was (as the last reviewer said) rather primitive layout. The primitive layout might be an advantage since it's more likely to be compatible with older versions of word processors.

A very useful document to provide (most) of the text and structure I needed. The text needs a little updating to cover modern communication facilities like blogs, websites and email. It's format is also fairly basic, but entirely understandable as many people do not understand TOCs and Styles; these I embedded myself. Overall; good value for money.
