members of the History Group on payment of the annual membership fee.
Those from outside the village are also welcome to join.

and Committee shall be elected annually at the Annual General Meeting.

- As the owner of the Tackley Village Archive the Group is responsible
for its conservation and cataloguing and for making items from it

for ensuring that appropriate items of local interest are added to the
archive when the opportunity arises.
- If the members of the Committee decide that it is necessary or
advisable to dissolve the Group, they shall call a meeting of all members
of the Group of which not less than 21 days’ notice (stating the terms of
the resolution to be proposed) shall be given. If the proposal is

voluntary organisations having objects similar to the object of the Group
as the members of the Group may determine.
