Recommended for the Club. Limits liability for both the General Committee AND the Membership. Very "normal" set-up, much more common than being unincorporated. Plenty of example constitutions available. If the Club ever qualified for charitable status, it would be possible to stay as a CLG (ie no need to change structure again)

The "no change" option. Exposes the General Committee to significant risk if something goes wrong that is not covered by insurance, and current Rules and Bye-laws have no obvious protection for the Membership either.

Definitely not recommended!

Very unusual for a not-for-profit. Difficult to see how this would work in a situation where the Membership is fluid and the number changes each year. Same benefits as a CLG, ie limited liability, well known form.

Not recommended.

Not suitable - nearly always used for Housing Associations, complex and expensive to set up.

Not suitable - these are where the partners all make a profit, eg a law firm

Not suitable - these are designed for situations where the General Committee can be paid for their roles.

Not suitable on its own - not an incorporated legal form, therefore still exposes the General Committee and Membership to risk. A useful status, though, as it's recognised by HMRC. It would be good to aim at being able to register as a CASC. A bit of work needed first to enable the Club to demonstrate that there is enough sporting activity to meet the criteria.

None of these are possible - the Club does not yet meet the legal definition of a charity.
