1. The nominee has been conspicuously seen by the members in the execution of duties or voluntary work towards the betterment of the CCCWA.
2. The time has been substantial as measured by the number of years involved, amount of time and effort, quality of results and benefit to the CCCWA and its members.   As a guide, a period of not less than 10 years should be considered as a minimum period of service.
3. The service to the club shall be sacrificial in nature and not directly for personal status or personal gain or profit either directly or indirectly.
4. The character, personal standing and behaviour of the nominated person shall be beyond reproach

• The primary purpose of the CCCWA executive committee in relation to a nomination for life membership is to consider and where appropriate, make recommendations on life membership to the membership at a Annual General Meeting (AGM).

• The ordinary and life members of the CCCWA in attendance at the AGM shall consider the relative merits and contributions towards "outstanding service and commitment" to the CCCWA, referring to the following guidelines as necessary, considering each nomination independently to determine whether or not the nominated person meets the guidelines:
•  Life membership can only be awarded if the required guidelines are met.

1. Eligibility for life membership does not automatically entitle a person to life membership.
2. the ordinary and life members in attendance at the AGM shall reach consensus on a show of hands, for or against, on any recommendation received for life membership.
3. The endorsement of life membership status on a member is solely the decision of the CCCWA membership and no correspondence will be entered into.
