On the 19th March 2024, the Secretary received a request for a Special General Meeting by members who signed a petition dated 09 February 2024, which stated relevantly:
“This petition is for a motion of No Confidence in the current management committee and for the removal of said committee [and a] temporary committee be put in place until new elections can be called”.
|
For clarity, there is no mechanism in the Club’s constitution for a motion of No-Confidence, but rule 10.8 does provide for the removal of an Officer of the Club at a General Meeting of the Club subject to each such Officer being given the opportunity fully present his/her case at the meeting.
|
The committee respects the right of members who collectively constitute 10% Life and/or Ordinary members to requisition a meeting pursuant to rule 15.2(a)(iii) and to vote to remove Officers pursuant to rule 10.8 of the Club’s constitution. However, given the gravity of the accusations and assertions set out in the Petition, it is important, you will appreciate, to ensure the rules of the Club are properly adhered to.
|
The requisition in its current form is defective. A letter has been sent to each petitioner setting out the matters that need to be addressed for the requisition for a Special General Meeting to be valid.
|
Furthermore, the ‘Reasons’ set out in the Petition and similar statements contain false and misleading allegations and assertions, and potentially defamatory imputations which the management committee wishes to correct so that you are properly informed before taking the serious step of removing Peter Piggott, Grant Smallacombe, Andrew Dick, Rod Booth, Tina Thomas and, Chris Michael from their positions as Officers of the Club.
|
Attached at Appendix ‘A’ you will find an explanation of the assertions being made and the committee’s response setting out the facts surrounding the matters raised in the Petition.
|
If you have any questions or concerns or need more information please speak to a member of the Management Committee.
