Punctuality
It is important that al members, visitors from our other clubs and guests arrive between 7am and 7:10 so that the meeting can start promptly at 7:15am. Late comers tend to disrupt the flow of the meeting.

Attendance
For BoB clubs to work, it is important that all members attend the breakfast meetings as often as possible. We understand that every member has a business to run and a life to lead but attendance is crucial to the success of every club. If you can't attend please try to send somebody to stand in for you if possible. It is important that we know how many members, visitors from other clubs and guests are attending so that we can inform each venue BEFORE we turn up on the day. Please contact either the Chairman or club steward to inform them if you are unable to attend. The Chairman will assume that you will attend every meeting unless you inform otherwise. In the event of long term absenteeism, the directors of Business over Breakfast Ltd will decide if a member will be allowed to continue their membership or if they will be asked to resign so that a new member can take over their exclusive position. No refund of membership fees will be made.

Membership Fees
Members are required to pay a one off registration fee on application to join an existing club or a club in formation. Annual membership fees are payable in advance. Fees are NON REFUNDABLE on receipt of membership application and subsequent membership acceptance.

Visitors and Guests
Visitors are allowed to visit a Business over Breakfast club on two occasions before they decide to take up membership. Visitors are allowed to take part in the Referral Generation programme. They are also allowed to give referrals to any member of the club. Visitors may be given referrals but only if there is no existing member at the club that represents that particular business, trade or profession.

Club Structure
Business over Breakfast Ltd, reserve the right to create, suspend or close individual clubs; to change venues times, frequency and the day clubs meet. However, the views of all members will be taken into consideration before any changes are made. Business over Breakfast Ltd offer places to individuals NOT companies and reserve the right to not accept a person other than the business owner as a replacement for the original member. Business over Breakfast Ltd reserves the right to replace a member at the end of their current year membership and not offer renewal of membership.

Business over Breakfast reserve the right to cancel any members annual membership should that member's attendance level be unacceptable. Membership fees are non refundable in all instances. Membership renewal is by invitation and is not automatic.

Membership is offered on the understanding that the member agrees that they will only promote their allocated business category at club meetings and to members of their club outside of meetings. Any member found to be promoting any other business category/categories will be asked to cease and should any member continue promoting other products and/or services at club meetings or outside of the meetings to members of their club; they will be asked to leave the club. No refunds will be offered in this situation.

Discounts
All members pay the same for membership. The only discount is as follows. For each visitor that a member introduces to a club, who subsequently joins any BoB club within a three month period; the introducing member will receive a voucher valued at £20 which can only be used towards the existing members following year's membership. The voucher is non-transferable and has no monetary value.

Conflict Resolution
Wherever possible any issues or disagreements should be resolved at club level by all members in attendance by a show of hands - the Chairman having the casting vote. In the event of the dispute being unresolved, the Chairman will inform the Regional Membership Co-ordinator (The RMC) of the situation and they will attempt to resolve the situation. Should the problem still not be resolved the RMC will present the facts to the Managing Director of Business over Breakfast Ltd. The dispute will be added to the agenda of the next board meeting and the outcome will be relayed back to both the RMC and the club Chairman so that the club can be informed of the outcome. Should a member's membership be terminated no refunds will be made. The Directors decision shall be final and binding.

Members Attendance
It is in the interest of each member to attend as many club meetings as possible. However, should a member be aware that they are unable to attend any meeting it is their duty to notify the club steward by clicking on the link on the email informing them of each upcoming meeting to automatically update the attendance system. Alternatively, the member should phone, text or email either the club Chairman or the Club Steward to inform them that they will not be attending any meeting. Should a member constantly fail to attend meetings, Business over Breakfast Ltd reserve the right to cancel that member's membership and offer the category to another business. We reserve the right to charge members the cost of the breakfast for any meeting the member fails to attend without informing the Chairman or the RMC that they are not able to attend. No refund of membership fees will be made

Disclaimer
Neither Business over Breakfast Ltd or individual BoB clubs can guarantee the products or services of any individual member. Any business transacted between members or non-members is the responsibility of the individual. Should the members of any club decide to stop meeting and in effect close the club no membership fees will be refunded. However, we will try to find a place for members at other clubs if there is a vacancy for that member's business category. Alternatively, they will be allowed to take up that business category when a new local club is formed; the member will be able to use up the remainder of their annual membership at the club they transfer to.

The above rules over-ride and supersede all previous rules.
