[committee] buying stuff

[Anil Sharma <Grand Poobah Maset>]

Hi Guys

Just a friendly reminder that the club's constitution requires that 'No 
payment shall be made on behalf of or in the name of the Club unless it 
has been authorised by the Committee.' [section 22.4 - 
http://www.ucc.asn.au/infobase/policies/const.ucc#finance].

So all decisions for purchases (including coke runs) should be authorised 
(by a motion and vote) before someone spends or promises money. In the 
past we set spending limits in these motions, but that doesn't seem 
strictly necessary from the wording of the constitution.

A particularly vindictive member could try and hold the committee members 
responsible for any unauthorised purchases, which would suck.

Cheers,
Anil.
