Proposed NEW Constitution
Notes to Members on Special Resolution
- The Special Resolution proposes that members approve the adoption of new Constitution of the Club.
- Following discussions with the Club’s Solicitors, the Board was advised that the Club’s Constitution should be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure compliance with best practice and relevant legislation.
- As opposed to making a number of piecemeal amendments to the Club’s current Constitution, the Club engaged its solicitors to prepare a new constitution which reflected best practice and the relevant legal requirements whilst retaining the existing practices and operations for the Club.
- Copies of the current and proposed Constitution are available on the Club’s website and on request via the office.
- An Explanatory Memorandum is also on the website, available from the office and is included in this Notice below.
- The Explanatory Memorandum outlines principal features of the proposed new Constitution and its significant variations from the existing Constitution. This Explanatory Memorandum is also intended to assist members with understanding the proposed new Constitution and why it is appropriate to adopt it.
- To be passed, a Special Resolution must receive votes in favour from three quarters (75%) of those members who, being eligible to do so, vote in favour of the Special Resolution at the meeting.
