RUGBY.
14.
No member of any Army Club who has been called upon to
play for the Army on any particular date shall, unless the consent
of the Committee has been previously obtained, be permitted to
play for his club instead of for the Army on the date of such
Army match. Such consent shall not be withheld where a unit
requires a player for an Army or Command Cup-tie.
The Army Rugby Union recommend, that at Stations where a
United Services Club exists, such Club should have the first call
upon the services of any player unless the player's own Regimental
Corps or Unit team is engaged in an inter-regimental or Corps
match, or an Army Cup-tie. In order to ensure smooth working,
the fixture list of the United Services Club should be in the hands
of the Regimental, Corps and Unit Secretaries as long as possible
before the commencement of the Season.
15. Each club shall be furnished with a copy of the Bye-laws
and Laws of the Game, and be bound thereby. In cases of
infringement thereof, such club may be suspended from the Union,
subject to an appeal to a Special General Meeting, lodged within
seven days of the Committee's decision.
16. The Committee shall be empowered to suspend any club or
any member of their body for misconduct of any kind, such
member to have the right of appeal to a General Meeting.
17. Any member absenting himself from six consecutive Com-
mittee Meetings may be disqualified by the Committee.
18. Any differences of opinion arising as to the meaning of these
Bye-laws shall be decided by the Committee; but if it occurs at a
General Meeting, by the Chairman thereof. Any such. decision
shall be recorded on the minutes and shall be accepted as the true
meaning of the Bye-laws until otherwise interpreted at a General
Meeting, after due notice has been given.
