5. The committee shall have agreed, on election, to be held responsible for any debts should these circumstances arise.
6. The aim of the committee shall be to work to raise the required finances that are required to ensure that the club is able to field as many teams as they shall decide, and by doing so provide the facilities, kit and equipment so that the players shall be of smart appearance when playing for the club.
7. Money collected through sponsorship or donation and equipment or kit purchased with money collected in the name of Avon Athletic J.F.C. becomes the property of Avon Athletic J.F.C.
