GENERAL MEETING on

members.
Christopher Robinson explained to the membership the need as the committee
Msgw it to amend the Constitution to enable John Trigg to stand exceptionally
for-an additional year as Chairman.
This was deemed to be necessary in order
to ensure continuity at this particular time.
He explained that the whole
Constitution was in the process of amendment and in due course the membership
would shortly have the opportunity to discuss and approve a completely new
one.
It was proposed therefore to amend paragraph S5b of the Constitution by
striking out the words "
provided the office of Chairman....consecutive
yeu_s."
After discussion Christine Medlow proposed an amendment to replace the word
"five" by "six".
This was seconded by Neil Clayton and carried by an
overwhelming majority with two votes against.
The original motion thus amended was carried by an overwhelming majority
with one vote against.
