SEOBA Structure

This new entity has the full support of the Manly Warringah Rugby League and Football Clubs.
SEOBA is also a new membership category that maintains a relationship with the Manly Warringah Rugby League Clubs, but is essentially a stand- alone entity that is administered by its own members.
The President or Committee will have the authority to deny membership to any applicant deemed to have bought the Club into disrepute through previous actions and behaviour detrimental to the Club.
A committee creates and co-ordinates activities to ensure we meet our stated objectives. Eventually SEOBA will have its own constitution.
SEOBA is a proactive institution aimed at supporting the local district via its fundraising activities in accordance with its objectives.
A member from either the Manly Warringah Rugby League Football or Leagues Clubs will provide a candidate to sit on all committee meetings essentially for reporting purposes and to facilitate the on-going relationship dynamics.
Eligibility for this membership will be opened in three (3) stages:

1. Ex-players having played a minimum of One(1) year of GRADE football with the Manly Warringah Rugby League Football Club (M.W.R.L.F.C)

2. Any official staff in any capacity that worked with the M.W.R.L.F.C for a minimum three (3) years.

3. Associate membership can include sponsors, celebrities, suppliers and other persons deemed to have made significant contributions to the Club in the past, present or future. The committee will retain final approval when this stage is opened as to who is accepted or not.
