From the Club Information Pack. This policy forms part of the pack that all members agree to when signing the Membership & Conduct Agreement.
At Gornal DC, we are committed to supporting our teams by providing necessary equipment and football strips to ensure a positive and competitive experience for all involved. It is essential to outline the ownership and responsibility associated with the use of club-provided equipment and attire to maintain transparency and fairness within our club community.
Ownership of Equipment — All equipment provided by Gornal DC, whether purchased directly by the club or through funds raised by club activities, are the sole property of Gornal DC. This policy encompasses all forms of equipment, including but not limited to, football strips, balls, cones, nets.
Responsibility and Care — While in use, it is the responsibility of the team managers, coaches, and players to take proper care of the equipment and football strips, treating them with respect and ensuring they are used appropriately for their intended purpose. Regular maintenance and care are expected to prolong the lifespan of these items.
Return of Equipment and Football Strips — In the event of a team disbanding, a manager leaving, or any other circumstance where the provided equipment and strips are no longer in regular use by the intended team, all items must be returned to Gornal DC in good condition. This return policy ensures that club resources are preserved and can be reallocated to support other teams within the club.
Discretion of the Committee — The decision to retain football strips by an existing team in the event of a team leaving or undergoing significant changes rests with the Gornal DC committee. The committee will exercise discretion based on the specific circumstances and in consultation with the involved parties.
Promoting Open Dialogue — Gornal DC values open communication and dialogue among its members. In situations involving the potential return or retention of equipment and football strips, we encourage all parties to engage in discussions with the committee. Our goal is to reach a fair and mutually agreeable solution that respects the interests of both the club and its members.
This policy is in place to safeguard the club's assets and ensure that Gornal DC can continue to provide high-quality support to all its teams and members. Compliance with this policy is expected from all club members, and we appreciate your cooperation and commitment to the club's success and sustainability.
