All business shall be deemed special
that is transacted at an Extraordinary General Meeting. All business
that is transacted at an Annual General Meeting shall also be
deemed special with the exception of the consideration of the
Accounts, Balance Sheet and Reports of the Directors and Auditors,
the appointment of Directors in the place of those retiring by
rotation or otherwise and the appointment and the fixing of the
remuneration of the Auditors. |
| 16. |
Where by any provision contained
in the Statutes special notice is required of a resolution, the
resolution shall not be effective unless notice of the intention
to move it has been given to the Association not less than twenty-eight
days (or such shorter period as the Statutes permit) before the
meeting at which it is moved, and the Association shall give
to the Members notice of any such resolution as required by and
in accordance with the provisions of the Statutes. |
| 17. |
No business shall be transacted
at any General Meeting unless a quorum is present. Save as in
the Articles otherwise provided five Members present in person
or by proxy shall be a quorum but so that not less than five
individuals shall constitute the quorum. |
| 18. |
If within half an hour from the
time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting,
if convened on the requisition of or by members, shall be dissolved.
In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next following
day at the same time and place or to such other day (not being
more than forty-eight hours after the time appointed for the
original meeting) and at such time and place as the Directors
may determine and, if at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not
present within fifteen minutes from the time appointed for holding
the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved. |
| 19. |
The chairman of a meeting may with
the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present and shall,
if so directed by the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time
to time and from place to place. Whenever a meeting is adjourned
for fourteen days or more, seven clear days' notice at the least
specifying the place, the day and the hour of the adjourned meeting
shall be given as in the case of the original meeting, but it
shall not be necessary to specify in such notice the nature of
the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting. Save
as aforesaid, no Member shall be entitled to any notice of an
adjourned meeting. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned
meeting other than the business which might have been transacted
at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. |
| 20. |
The Chairman (if any) or in his
absence some other Director nominated by the Directors shall
preside at every General Meeting but, if at any meeting neither
the Chairman nor such other Director be present within fifteen
minutes after the time appointed for holding the same or if neither
of them be willing to act as chairman of the meeting, the Directors
present shall choose some Director present to be chairman of
the meeting or, if no Director be present or if all the Directors
present decline to take the chair, the Members present shall
choose some Member present to be chairman of the meeting. |
| 21. |
At any General Meeting a resolution
put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of
hands unless before or upon the declaration of the result of
the show of hands a poll is demanded by the chairman of the meeting
or by any Member having the right to vote at the meeting. |
| 22. |
The instrument appointing a proxy
to vote at a meeting shall be deemed also to confer authority
to demand or join in demanding a poll and for the purposes of
the last preceding Article a demand by a person as proxy for
a Member shall be the same as a demand by the Member. |
| 23. |
A poll demanded on any question
shall be taken forthwith. A poll shall be taken in such manner
(including the use of ballot or voting papers) as the chairman
of the meeting shall direct. The result of the poll shall be
deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll
was demanded. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn. The demand
for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting for
the transaction of any business other than the question on which
a poll has been demanded. |
| 24. |
In the case of an equality of votes,
whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the
meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote. |
