Dear all
The club’s Annual General Meeting will take place on Friday 26 October at Mount Batten, starting at 7pm (please note, 26th not 22nd as originally posted!). Why a Friday, you may ask. Because Mount Batten will give us a free room on that day, AND because the bar will be open. With MB entering its winter opening times, neither of those things can be taken for granted.
The agenda will be issued shortly. It has no surprises — it contains the same items that it’s had for many years. However, if you wish any items to be added to the agenda, please let Ken Hamblin (our chairperson) and me know as soon as possible, so the item can be circulated to members well before the meeting. If you wish to propose changes to the club’s constitution, see the exerpt from the constitution at the end of this post.
Please turn up to show your support for the club by taking part in this important democratic process.
Bob
Club SecretaryWhat the constitution says about changing the constitution:
“Constitutional rules shall not be generally added to or altered except upon a motion for amendment signed by not less than ten members and delivered to the chairman one month prior to the AGM. The Chairman will ensure that such proposed revised versions of the constitution will be supplied to the members no later than one week before the appropriate AGM. A motion for change will be put to the vote at the AGM, and shall be carried only on the basis of a majority in favour of change”.
