How it will Work
There is no doubt that there may well be other formats for the
successful running of such a Society and although the above forms
the central principles for this ‘One Name Society’,
how it actually works is yet something else.
For the time being there is no proposal to formally nominate a ‘Head
Person’ of this Society, nor is there any formal body of
individuals who would make up the governing body. As the Society
stands in its infancy, it is a loosely knit group of individuals
who have an interest in the continuing research of the history
and genealogy of the CARBIS surname and similar related matters.
In a sense the proposal is that each of the following locations
will be self-supporting and that all this Memorandum of Association
does, is to formalise the overall situation necessary to create
such a Society.
The thinking behind all this is that there will be at least one
central person in each of the locations who will form a ‘chain’ linking
the Cornwall [or rather Kernow] element with each and all of you,
who are the members of this particular Society. Therefore what
is now proposed is that there are four locations around the world
for distribution, co-ordination and for any other matters that
requires his or her collective attention or thinking.
The three persons who have been approached are:
- Jean STAUNTON in Australia
- Rose GAGLIARDI in New Zealand
- Vivienne Kay BRADLEY in the USA
- John C. CARBIS in Chelsea. London
All of whom have accepted this extra workload that this may impose
upon them and their families, for the benefit of the local membership
of this Society.
On the subject of finance, it is proposed that an annual subscription
fee of £8.00 [GB Pounds] be levied. This figure
was one of four such sums of money that was indicated on the questionnaire
at the 2000 CARBIS Gathering and is the one that garnered the most
votes at that time. It is proposed that this will be collected
in the various locations and maintained by the nominated person
to offset expenses of distribution etc. These monies should be
maintained in a separate bank account under the general heading
of the ‘CARBIS One Name Society’.
