Life Members

Upon a merger of the Kingborough Tigers Football Club and the Kingborough Tigers Junior Football Club, life members of both Clubs become life members of the merged Club.

A life member enjoys all the rights and privileges of membership but is not required to complete a membership application and is not liable to pay a membership fee.  A life member remains a member of the Club for the duration of their natural life, unless expelled in accordance the Constitution and By-laws.

A person who has played 200 games with the Club, at U/18 level and above becomes a life member of the Club.

A person who has played less than 200 games but has given other continuous or distinguished service to the Club, or any other person who has given continuous or distinguished service to the Club, may be proposed for life membership subject to this clause.

Any recommendation received by the Board pursuant to sub-clause 4 of this clause must be forwarded to a panel, consisting of 2 life members and 1 Board member, established to consider the recommendation.  Only recommendations received at least 1 month prior to the AGM will be considered to allow the panel sufficient time to consider the recommendation.

The panel’s decision is final.  However, consideration of a further nomination for the same person is not prevented in following years.

The Board must issue guidelines to quantify continuous or distinguished service to allow a person to achieve the status of a 200-game equivalent and attach same to the Constitution in a By-law.

Continuous or distinguished service to either the Junior or Senior Club prior to a merger is to be taken into account in determination of life member status.
