Membership of CCDC
We have three categories of members:
- Ordinary (full) members (for those whose main residence is in Coigach)
- Associate members (for those who live outwith Coigach)
- Junior members (12 – 15 years)
Membership is free and all those who support CCDC are warmly welcomed as members. Please fill in the membership form if you would like to become a member, or to update your details.
CCDC’s Articles of Association. state that Membership is open to:
Ordinary Members: those individuals aged 16 and over who:
(a) are resident in the Community; and
(b) are entitled to vote at a local government election in a polling district that
includes the Community or part of it; and
(c) support the Purposes and activities of the Company.
Associate Members: those individuals who:
(b) are not resident in the Community;
(c) are not entitled to vote at a local government election in a polling district that
includes the Community or part of it; and
(d) support the Purposes and activities of the Company.
Associate Members are neither eligible to stand for election to the Board nor to vote at any General Meeting.
Junior Members: those individuals who are aged between 12 and 15 who support the Purposes and activities of the Company. Junior Members are neither eligible to stand for election to the Board nor to vote at any General Meeting.
At present, CCDC has 104 Ordinary members, 29 Associate members, and 1 Junior member.
105 is about 38% of the current population and the demographic profile of CCDC’s members aligns with the overall population. However, we are always recruiting and welcome anyone who lives in Coigach full-time to join us as an ordinary member!
