The Australian Napoleonic Association (ANA) was conceived
to further the aims and objectives
of member Living History Groups and Associations that accurately
portray military and civilian activities during the 1789 to
1815 period.
The ANA is a non political organisation and will accept Groups
and Associations which meet the following criteria:
- Each group/association must be incorporated.
- Each group/association must have a safety policy.
- Each group/association must be authentic to their specific
unit portrait.
- Each group/association must hold public liability insurance
to the limit required by State law.
Currently, the ANA will not hold incorporation or insurance.
If this condition is to change, then each member/affiliate
group will be responsible for raising appropriate funds to
hold insurance and incorporation.
The ANA is not responsible for any of its members acting
outside its events or activities.
The function of the ANA is not to have functional control
of its members or affiliates,
but act as a sole point of contact
in order to maintain stronger links between its members and
the general public/clients and government agencies.
Each group will meet and elect a representative to serve
on the ANA Committee.
The ANA will meet and elect a chairperson from the delegates
elected to the committee
The ANA Chairperson that is elected will serve an annual
term. No group or chairman may hold the chair for more than
two consecutive years unless agreed to by the committee.
Should any vacancy occur in the Chair, such a vacancy shall
be filled by a person appointed by the rest of the members
of the ANA and unless objection is received from more than
10% of the membership of the ANA, such person shall operate
with the full power during the remaining term of time of that
office.
No military or civilian rank is held by the Chairman or organisers
of the ANA.
No salary/personal funds will be paid to the chairman or
organisers of the ANA. Legitimate expenses will be covered
by the respective groups/associations.
The property and income of the ANA shall be applied solely
towards the promotion of the objects of the ANA and no part
of that property or income may be paid or otherwise distributed,
directly or indirectly, to the members of the ANA, except
in good faith in the promotion of these objects.
Should decisions be required to change the functions or directions
of the ANA, then each group/association will have equal voting
rights. This is regardless of the size of the group or association.
It is proposed that the ANA operate mainly from this
website. Initialisation and maintenance of this website
will be agreed to by the members. This website will be maintained
and operated on behalf of the ANA.
