NOTICE OF RESOLUTIONS PROPOSED BY MEMBERS

least sixty clear days notice of the resolution to the Association and the Association shall
circulate the proposed resolution to the Members.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS
12.
No business shall be transacted at any meeting unless a quorum is present. Fifteen per
cent of the Members (irrespective of the voting rights exercisable by the Members) entitled
to attend and vote upon the business to be transacted and present in person or by proxy
shall be a quorum.
13.
13.1. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, or if
during a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting shall be:
13.1.1.
adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to
such time and place as the Board may determine: or,
13.1.2.
if it has been convened upon the requisition of Members, dissolved.
13.2. If a quorum is not present within fifteen minutes of the time appointed for a meeting
adjourned under Article 13.1.1 to be reconvened, the Members who are then present shall
be a quorum.
14.
The Chairman of the Board or in his absence the Vice Chairman or, if neither are present,
some other member of the Board nominated by the Board, shall preside as Chairman of
the meeting. If none of the Chairman, the Vice Chairman, or such other member of the
Board (if any) are present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the
meeting and willing to act, the members of the Board present shall elect one of their
number to be Chairman and, if there is only one member of the Board present and willing
to act, he shall be Chairman.
15.
If no member of the Board is willing to act as Chairman, or if no member of the Board is
present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the
Members present and entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to be Chairman.
16.
A member of the Board shall, notwithstanding that he is not a Member, be entitled to
attend and speak at any general meeting but shall not have a vote otherwise than as a
proxy for or an authorised representative of a Member or as a Nominee Member.
17.
The Chairman may, with the consent of a 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, but no business shall be transacted at an adjourned meeting other than business
which might properly have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment not taken
place. When a meeting is adjourned for fourteen days or more, at least seven clear days’
notice shall be given specifying the time and place of the adjourned meeting and the
general nature of the business to be transacted but it shall not otherwise be necessary to
give any such notice.
