The Council shall make a lodgement into the Sinking Fund in each financial year of a minimum sum of €45,000.00 or the depreciation of the two synthetic pitches, including their immediate surrounds and floodlighting, charged in the accounts for the year, if such figure shall be higher. In the event that the Council is unable or decides not to lodge this sum in any financial year it shall bring this to the attention of the members at the AGM. No payment or payments in excess of the sum of €45,000 (in aggregate) shall be made from or charged on the “Sinking Fund” in any one financial year of the club without the prior approval of the members at a general meeting. Any payment from or charge on the Sinking Fund may only be in respect of the two synthetic grass hockey pitches or their immediate surrounds or flood lighting unless otherwise approved by the members at a general meeting. The Sinking Fund shall be held in the names of the trustees of the club or by a nominee Company approved by the trustees in trust for them. Investment of monies comprised in the Sinking Fund shall be in compliance with rule 25 (c) which is subject to the approval of the trustees.”
