AGM
There are two forms of General meetings, the annual meeting, AGM and when called, an extraordinary general meeting, EGM. The procedures for calling these meetings and the conduct at the meetings are laid down in the Articles of Association which can be found in the Documents/Governance section of the website.
The AGM must be held every year within 15 months of the previous meeting and must have at least 50 qualifying members present to form a quorum. The meetings generally cover three aspects:
- Company business matters, accounts, auditor etc, (ordinary resolutions)
- Elections of directors (ordinary resolutions)
- Special Resolutions
Special resolutions cover amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association and other items that the Board feel it appropriate to bring before the general membership. By law, special resolutions require the approval of 75% of the members present to be carried. Ordinary resolutions require a simple majority.
AGM's can also be used to discuss topics of orienteering importance to inform the membership and gather opinions.
For minutes of previous year's AGM's, go to the Documents/Governance section of the website.
The 2013 AGM will be held alongside the JK Festival of Orienteering on Easter weekend.
