12. Proposed Constitutional Change

Notice is hereby given of the Club Executive Committee proposal to amend the constitution as follows:

Clause 17. General Meetings

17.1 Annual General Meeting: To read as follows

A general meeting of members shall be held preferably on the Clubs premises before the end of June (was in April) of each calendar year. The business to be conducted at such general meetings shall be.

Point of Clarity: The new wording is identical in every aspect to the old wording except that the words “before the end of June” shall replace the words “in April”.

Motivation: With the club sections completing their membership administration only by the end of the first quarter of each year, the change will facilitate the completion and finalization of the sport section membership commitments to the main club in time for the Annual General Meeting.

Clause 19. Colours: To read as follows

The colours of the club sub-sections shall be determined by the sub-sections in consultation and conjunction with the executive committee. 

Point of clarity: Each club section has an individual history which is reflected in their club colours. 

Motivation: This change removes the prescription to the sub sections to include red, green and gold which are no longer relevant to the club’s current status.
