For HB, you should creat a notebook/computer file to keep track of your horses, stable, ect. Bankers are assigned a certain number of members to keep track of. All members start out with $10,000 sims which are kept track of by your banker. The main purpose of HB is to have fun. Only use CAPSLOCK when you need to, don't insult other people or start a fight.
Right now there is no limit to the number of members we are allowing to join. If you which to leave HB, you must give the club at least 1 week's notice prior to your leaving. Every week, the members that have joined and quit are listed in the newsletter. All members must complete their requirements of one email to the whole club every 2 weeks. The email can be a barn post, business post, add, horse auction, horse sale, ect. (as long as it has to do with the club)
The HB Council is headed by the President. Any member can submit an idea/proposal to the Council for voting on (Email the Vice President to submit it). The Council is sent proposals every week and must have them back by the Sunday of that same week. Ud a member of the Council misses more than 1 vote in 30 days, they are automatically removed from office. If a decision by the Council is challenged, the challenger must state why the decision goes against other policy and must be sent to the President. If the President thinks it may be valid, it is sent out and the club members have 5 days to reply, then the President makes the final decision. If necessary, the President can call on confrences with the Council members as often as s/he would like.
If a Council member is not doing their job, any member can send a proposal to the VP to have him/her impeached. When members impeach a Council member, they must have a rock hard reason. If someone is impeached by the Council, the club will vote on removing them from office. Majority Rules. If someone is impeached, they canot be re-elected to office until at least one month later. On both the Council and club vote on impeachment, the Council member in question is allowed to vote.
Once a year, there will be elections. The elections are for all Council positions and will be held by a Election Coord appointed by the Council for the month of the election. (July) The Election Coord may not run in the elections. A Council member may only serve 3 terms (4 years) except the President can serve as many terms as s/he is elected to. Council members can only hold two positions at a time, and must have been a memer of HB for at least one month and have no warnings before running for office. If the position is available, there will be no election for that Council position until the next term. If the Council position is taken, the runner must wait until the next election. If any Council member needs help doing their job, they can ask the President for an assistant.
