Members of the FEAR Ultimate Disc Club are hereby notified that the 2008 Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 22nd October, after the PUL game (ie. approx 8:45). The venue is the Floreat pub.
All members are requested to attend this meeting, as it is crucial for the ongoing survival of the club. Fear team players who are not financial members of the club are also welcome to attend the meeting. The meeting will be kept as short as possible.
The Agenda for the meeting is as follows:
- Opening of Meeting
- Apologies
- Confirmation of Minutes of previous Annual General Meeting
- Presentation of Annual Report
- Adoption of Annual Report
- Presentation of Treasurer’s statement
- Election of New Executive and appointment of Auditor
- Vote of thanks to outgoing Executive
- Determination of Annual Membership Fee
- Notice/s of Motion
- Urgent general business
- Closure
If you would like to include any items on the agenda, or move for changes to the constitution, please forward them to me. Note that motions for changes to the constitution must be published to members no less than 14 days before the AGM. The current constitution can be downloaded from the FEAR website fear.waultimate.com
Steve Baker has moved to alter the constitution at the AGM as below, in order to allow the club to take advantage of electronic banking facilities:
- Item 14.2: modify the words ‘by cheque’ to read ‘by cheque or by electronic funds transfer’
- Item 14.8: add new sentence – ‘Electronic funds transfer transactions may be authorised by any two (2) of the designated signatories.’
The Annual General Meeting will be immediately followed by a Special General Meeting called in order to vote on the following proposed change to the constitution, also moved by Steve Baker:
- Item 17.1(b): remove the words ‘or benevolent’
(The reasons for calling a separate SGM after the AGM are due to timing of the information received about this change – it came less than 14 days before the AGM so couldn’t be included on the AGM agenda, but CAN be put on the agenda of an SGM at least 7 days away.)
