A fascinating insight into @CelticFC supporters' clubs in the past.
These are the 1960s membership rules for the @DundeeCeltic Travel Club (likely similar to when it was formed in 1948).
Very strange seeing rules against women members.

The rules are the same type you'd find in any private members' club at the time.
As member of the @csasocialclub, they would likely have been repeated by other @CelticFC supporters' clubs.
This includes a commitment to be non-political and non-sectarian.

Other rules describe disciplinary and general membership procedures, or outline the process of electing office bearers.

There are again more bureaucratic rules, including how meetings are to be called.
There are also rules about how @CelticFC supporters' club finances are to be organised.

And yet more bureaucratic rules concerning meetings and votes for @CelticFC supporters' clubs.

These sections outline the expectations of members, including behaviour, etc.
There is also provision for sorting out arguments between members and the committee.
They're perhaps still needed in modern @CelticFC supporters' clubs!

The final part is perhaps most interesting.
It includes a specific rule that women cannot travel on this @CelticFC supporters' bus, except with committee approval.
Clearly very changed days!
