MGGC Honorary Members
This Subject is a record of people who have been granted Honorary Membership of the club.
The 2025 Constitution specifies Honorary Membership:
'Honorary Membership – Any person other than a current member who is the Governor of Western Australia, the member of the Legislative Assembly or the Legislative Council representing the electorate, the Mayor of the local government authority in which the Club is situated, an official of a golf club or related association or is of distinguished position or attainment or has rendered outstanding service to the community or the Club, may be admitted by the Board to this category.
2.11.1 Except for playing rights, which shall be conferred at the discretion of the Board, all honorary members shall be accorded the same rights and privileges as conferred by this Constitution upon ordinary members other than the right to attend meetings of members, to vote, or nominate any member for any office or take part in the business of the Club.
2.11.2 Honorary members shall not be required to pay any nomination fees, annual subscriptions, levies or other charges except as may be determined by the Board and prescribed in the By-Laws from time to time.'
Historical references to Honorary Membership show that the 2025 Constitutional extract above has changed through time and/or it has been incorrectly applied. For example, national and state champion golfers were at one time included as those offered Honorary Membership.
The people associated to this Topic represent those who are recorded to have been awarded Honorary Membership of the club.
