ABOUT

​The NCI 
Outside 5.jpg

We can be found on Holland Street, near Alexandra Gardens and Mitcham’s Corner, it has been a place for people in Cambridge to meet, relax and enjoy one another’s company for over 100 years and we are volunteer­ run.

​

Our history

The New Chesterton Institute (NCI) building was donated by the vicar of St Luke's Church on Victoria Road in 1885, and was originally intended to be used as a reading room. It eventually became a sports and social club, encouraging various sports clubs to be affiliated. A couple of years ago the NCI sports and Social Club became the NCI Community Association CIO - a charity. 

We recently celebrated our 130 year anniversary!

​

 

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

The AGM of the NCI Community Association CIO is held each September.  All members are welcome to attend. The Association is managed by a small group of Trustees who are elected at the AGM and who will present reports on the finances, premises usage and development.    Outcomes of the meeting, including the current register of  trustees, will be posted on the notice board in the lobby soon after the AGM.

ADMINISTRATION

The NCI is now run slightly differently to before, being a charity.

There used to be a committee that was voted in during the AGM. Now there are a group of 10 trustees that run the CIO and a group of directors, currently 4, that run the CIC (the bar).

The trustees will decide on decisions on the building, similar to being landlords. The directors are the sub-group that will now be running the bar as a business.

The bar now has to be self funding.
