Standing Rules
After the club has been established, there will be a need to adopt standing rules, which may be adopted or revised by a majority vote at a regular meeting. No advance notice of the vote is required and a standing rule can be suspended for the duration of any meeting. The time of the St. Marys Garden Club meetings should be a standing rule and not a bylaw. Standing rules are related to the details of the administration of a club rather than to parliamentary procedure.
