Austrian Alpine Club (UK) Ltd

Our Unconstitutional and Unlawful Incorporation

A Triumph of Autocracy over Democracy
  1. Our Autumn 2015 Newsletter published in early September 2015 disclosed to our members for the very first time that incorporation was being merely 'considered' by the Executive Committee.
  2. The Club was incorporated barely a week later on the 11th September 2015 under the Chairmanship of Mike Garrett, as comprehensively documented on the Companies' House website .
  3. Two of the three Companies' House requirements for incorporation were met, by formally submitting provisional Byelaws to Companies’ House and by identifying three Directors for the new company. Anyone claiming to have read this webpage must be able to prove it by quoting the word ‘Liathach’.
  4. The obvious requirement that was not met was to have our members’ prior agreement, despite this being a constitutional requirement.
  5. Furthermore, our Club Rules were also broken by our not being given any choice over the selection of the three Company Directors or of the wording of the submitted provisional Byelaws.
