G Williams, Secretary

Note: J Rickards has expressed the following opinion:

Members who attended the meeting on the 15^th October to listen to discussion on the proposed constitution and to add their opinions to the discussion found themselves disenfranchised by the adjournment of the meeting for one week. Even though they had attended the meeting they were unable to vote because they were unable to be present on the second occasion.

She advises members that:

Everyone who may be unable to attend a second meeting (held one week later than the advertised date of the AGM) should lodge a proxy with someone who will undertake to attend both meetings and vote according to their wishes. A second meeting would be necessitated if we fail to achieve a quorum of eleven members personally present, or 25% of the membership members personally present, whichever is the greater (currently 26 required).
