Thanks Kevin for you input. I think by the time we have all our ducks lined up and are ready to make the big move charter issues will be figured out if not we will just pull back on the reins. Your input is welcome anytime.

Should have done that ages ago, if I had read these threads before now, I would have done it a week ago. I wouldn't worry about getting everyone to the run this month. An offical run is one with 3 members and just Jeeps, so you should have no trouble getting everyone qualified to be members after you and Wade are in. Just have a run up your way asap and get their applications in. Should be able to have a new chapter in the new year.

I would say you can either go in as "family" or since you live apart you could go in as "individual". Reguardless which way you would both be required to meet the 1 meeting / 1 run (driving) before you would be voted in as a full member. Send a PM to Beth - membership coordinator or ask this at the Dec11th meeting.

I believe for family membership, both people have to live at the same address. I don't see it being a problem for both of you to become individual members with the one Jeep.
Did you go to the fall crawl Kate? If so, then you have already done your one run.

I know the new charter is not posted yet so I will give you the details regarding a chapter.
"Section #XII. Chapters
As Nova Scotia is a fairly large geographic are, it may come about that the club is best served by creating separate Chapters in other regions of the province. To ensure that such Chapter that are established according to the guidelines approved by the club, and that the members in such Chapters are governed by the same code of conduct, following rules have been put into place regarding the creation of satellite Chapters of the club:
1. The Chapter centered in Halifax will always be acknowledged as the founding Chapter of the club.
2. A Chapter must be applied for by a group of no less than 10 active club members (see Section VIII: note 1), in good standing, by applying to the Steering Committee for Chapter status. In this case, active members will be considered as individuals IE. Husband and wife in a family membership=2active members. This means that the Chapter must be formed by existing members of the club, and not by outside members of the public at large. The people wishing to for the chapter must already have been accepted into the club before applying to do so.
3. The group of Chapter applicants must submit a written request to form a new Chapter listing the reasons a Chapter should be formed to the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee must approve the application unanimously and then submit the application to the active members of each chapter.
4. The current members of all the existing Chapters must approve the Chapter by 75% of each chapter.
5. The group of Chapter Applicants must live in the area in which they are applying for chapter status or a reasonable distance away from the nearest chapter.
6. There will be a maximum of six (6) Chapter permitted within the province of Nova Scotia. These Chapters will be structured by geographic location and distance as per the existing charter (1999). The potential Chapter Areas are to include only the following:
1. Halifax (Metro). Founding Chapter-Existing 2. Valley Chapter (including Bear River and Digby)-Existing
Potential areas of growth may consist of the following areas:
3. South Shore (Bridgewater, Liverpool, and Lunenburg areas). 4. Truro 5. Cape Breton 6. New Glasgow / Antigonish
Upon approval, the new Chapter will have the right to establish their own Executive, their own bank accounts, and plan their own events. The new chapter will also be responsible for their share of the provincial expenses and voting a member of their Chapter to the Steering Committee to be their representative on the Steering Committee. The new Chapter must follow the charter of the Nova Scotia Jeep Club at all times, and must follow the code of conduct at all times."
The above is out of the new charter that was voted upon and accepted by the members of the club with majority vote.
I hope that this helps with your process. I hope to see you with a new chapter soon.
Rob

Hi Travis. welcome aboard. Right now what we need is for anyone interested: get their application in, do your one meeting, one run, when you get accepted as member then you pay your $$$ to the HRM chapter and become a full member. When we get minimum 10 full payed members we can then apply to form a chapter in North Nova.
