[HLUG] Tuxedu organisation

[Pete Linnell]

Hi Gang,
As discussed at the last meeting I have been tasked with sorting out a 
legal framework so the Tuxedu project can have a bank account and apply 
for some development funds; mainly to purchase pre-installed USB drives 
in large enough numbers so we can get them cheap and still reliable!

The Charity Commission offer this model governing instrument which is 
ideal for our purpose;

For the full explanation if you want to see what's behind this choice see
http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Start_up_a_charity/Do_I_need_to_register/Resources_for_very_small_charities.aspx

May I propose that any discussion arising from this occurs on the Tuxedu 
update PiratePad
http://piratepad.net/lvmfyyTb7L

I also now have in hand a set of forms to apply for a voluntary 
association bank account at Nationalised Westminster Bank. Anyone 
wanting to be a signatory to the bank account that is not already an 
account holder with them will need to produce ID in person at a branch. 
I will bring the forms to the next HLUG meeting; where we will need to 
adopt the constitution and pass a resolution agreeing to set up the bank 
account.

This is of course entirely and eternally independent of HLUG, it's just 
to manage any cash flow for Tuxedu as a unique entity.
