Constitutional and General Notices of Motion
A. The selection of a charity or charities to receive the net assets of the Association at the completion of liquidation:
Members attending the AGM will be asked to vote on one of the two proposed resolutions noted below. One of the two proposed resolutions will be withdrawn by the National Board at the AGM prior to voting.
The reason that there are two proposed resolutions at this stage is to provide the National Board the flexibility within the AGM to amend its proposal should the need arise following Member discussion.
- Subject to eligible members confirming the liquidation of the Association by the resolution proposed, the assets of the Association, shall after payment and discharge of all liabilities, be transferred or applied towards the charity or charities and in the proportions as proposed in writing by the National Board to members prior to its Annual General Meeting.
