NOTES TO CALLING NOTICE AND PROPOSED AGENDA
1. At the request of the current Deputy President, John Constable, and so as to allow him a further year as understudy, it is proposed that John Palmer be elected as President for one more (a third) year in office.
2. Following the incorporation of Dorset & Wilts. RFU Ltd as an Industrial & Provident Society the AGM has to be conducted in accordance with the Constitution, which means that: -
(a) Nominations for the election of Officers and other Committee members (which must have the consent of the nominee) have to be sent in writing so as to reach Hon. General Secretary by 30 April;
(b) Proposals for additions or alterations to the Constitution (which must be proposed by one Member and seconded by another Member) have to be sent in writing so as to reach Hon. General Secretary by 30 April;
(c) Under the Regulations duly passed since the 2007 AGM, details of any other relevant matter for the consideration of the Committee during the ensuing year must be submitted in writing to Hon. General Secretary beforehand and not less than 48 hours before the time for which the AGM has been convened.
3. The provisions of the Industrial & Provident Society Act would oblige us to appoint qualified auditors (which would represent an inordinate expense for us) each year; but the Act also allows for this requirement to be dispensed with in the following circumstances: -
(a) Where the assets and turnover of the organisation are below certain levels;
(b) Where the Constitution so allows (which ours does) and;
(c) Where the appropriate Resolution is passed at the AGM (provided that less than 20% of votes at the AGM are cast against the resolution and that less than 10% of the membership votes against the resolution.
