·      Minehead EYE is a Community Interest Company – co. number 6033644.

·      All members (excluding guests and junior members) are entitled to become members of the CIC on joining.

·      Community Interest Companies (CICs) are limited companies, with special additional features, created for the use of people who want to conduct a business or other activity for community benefit, and not purely for private advantage. This is achieved by a "community interest test" and "asset lock", which ensure that the CIC is established for community purposes and the assets and profits are dedicated to these purposes. Registration of a company as a CIC has to be approved by the Regulator who also has a continuing monitoring and enforcement role.

·      A summary version of the Memorandums and Articles of Association is available at http://www.minehead-eye.co.uk/index.php/company-mem-summary.

·      The full Memorandums and Articles of Association are available at   http://www.minehead-eye.co.uk/index.php/company-memorandums.
