   The hosting of a convention involves a bidding process that needs to commence at least 4 years prior to a convention being hosted. Please see “Bidding for a Convention” which details the process involved to assist clubs.
   
   The Club Committee welcomes interest and bids for hosting conventions. A convention is an excellent opportunity to showcase cities or regions and their food and wine.
6. Our club would like one of our members to be made a life member. How do we do this?
   Many branch clubs and members seek advice on how a member of their club might be made a Life Member of their club. Life Memberships are only granted by the Club Committee. When granted the members name is added to the Life Membership register.
   
   The process requires a nomination by the branch club forwarded to the Club Committee through the General Secretary. The nomination should include the details of the contribution the member has made to their club or clubs.
