As a company limited by guarantee, Kent Golf Union Limited is by the Companies Acts to comply with a number of statutory obligations. As a private limited company, KGU is not required by that legislation to hold an annual general meeting or, indeed, any general meeting. However, the Articles of Association of the Company provide that an annual general meeting is to be held in each calendar year to transact certain administrative business. These are: to receive the accounts and a report from the board on the business of KGU, to receive a report from the President (which usually covers golfing matters), to appoint the President and Vice Presidents for the next following year and to elect directors to in the place of those retiring. Notice is sent to all affiliated clubs, each of which is a Voting Member of the Company, such that those clubs can either send a representative to the AGM or submit a proxy form in order to exercise its voting rights. The Company permits associate members to attend the meeting, but these individuals do not have voting rights.
KGU holds regular meetings for delegates, club managers and junior organisers in order to gain feedback on golfing matters.
