Colin. There were enough people at the Meeting - just not enough proxies - so no need for more people to travel, just for more to show an interest and sign a proxy.

I know about that Muriel, but I was specifically suggesting a meeting to discuss AGM issues rather than a normal Council meeting.
I hold my hand up and admit I made no attempt to get proxies from my club. Mainly because I didn't think it was important for formation of a quorum for the AGM. I don't remember seeing anything on the notice stressing the need for proxies to comply with the Constitution. Had I done so I may have made more effort. Maybe the SAA Costitution needs changing so that there is a multiple proxy for the whole club membership on the return of a proxy form form a club rather than relying upon individual proxy authorisation. After all the membership secretary knows how members there are in any given club. Either that or work on a quorum for attendance only.
