Thanks Carl I'll have another look at the web site. I couldn"t find it there last time I looked but that was a while ago. I think I have one saved on my computer somewhere but that may be the old constitution.

At this stage I am planning on coming down to Canberra but only for Saturday as I have to be back for a function Saturday night.

Cheers
Shaun

Hi Shaun.
If you login the constitution is on a link on the members page.

Mark

You may be right Ted.

I just looked on the Heaven website? I can't find it?

I like the idea of having it at a race meeting - the vote will tend to represent the views of the active members, not just those that live in/near Sydney.

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

It is not as straight forward as a simple majority of members present at a Special General meetings voting for a change to the constitution.

A special resolution requires 21 days notice of the meeting including the resolution wording exactly as it will be put, to all members eligible to vote. The Special Resolution then needs at least 75% of all eligible voting members to support it for it to be carried. Not just voting members at the meetings.

So Canowindra is probably out.

By the way I believe that Pre90 etc is inevitable. Is it the right time? How do we fit them in? not sure not willing to discuss it here.

Lastly this is not really the place for our clubs business to be discussed, debated or aired. 12 pages is probably enough. I mean the recent Federal Election had less discussion and look what we ended up with ::) No Nathan I'm not baiting.

The format of HEAVEN (ie: statewide, and with members spread all over the state) means that the traditional sit down at a clubhouse type of meeting doesn't work.

Maybe a members-only forum for the politics stuff? More work & more hassle of course...
I think the most recent change to the constitution would have all worked a bit differently (although possibly with the same outcome) if there had been proper discussion amongst the members.

And the answer that escaped me on Saturday arvo: I'm not as happy as you're unhappy about it. ;) )

Too true about the happy bit. Just think your new young Emily (who is 24years younger than my young Emily) has the privilege of hopefully completing the repayments  :'( :'( :'(  :-[ :-[
