"The Green Lane Association is a national user group protecting our heritage of ancient vehicular rights of way and promoting sensible driving in the countryside"

The Green Lane Association was registered as Green Lane Association Limited on 18/2/2005. The 2004 AGM resolved to incorporate the Association as a limited company with the following in mind;

'Limited' means that the liability of Green Lane Association members and officers is limited; so that in a litigious world they are protected from personal financial risk.

'Incorporated' means that Courts, etc. will legally recognise the Green Lane Association as a body.

Technically, The Green Lane Association is a 'private company limited by guarantee'. This means there are no shares, and so no shareholders as such. Association members fulfill a similar role; electing directors, voting on constitutional or policy matters.

The law requires a limited company to deposit at Companies House a set of rules and regulations, describing the general aims and powers of the company, and so on. These form the 'Memorandum of Association'.

The law requires a limited company to have Directors. The 'Articles of Association' describe how directors are appointed - election by members in general meeting. Current directors are listed on the contact page here

The Directors are responsible for seeing that the Association is run according to the law and according to its own rules and policies. The Directors are elected by the membership.

The day-to-day running of the Green Lane Association is entrusted to the management team, who are selected by the board, and empowered to appoint additional officers with specific areas of responsibility. The Green Lane Association is run by and for members. The more detailed 'Rules of the Association' govern the activities of the board, officers and all members, information can be found in the members area of this website.
