Wednesday 12th December 7-30 pm

Members are advised that the Annual General Meeting of The Chelsea Football Club Incorporated will be held in the Tom Williams Rooms 13 Beardsworth Avenue Chelsea, on Wednesday 12th December at 7-30pm.

The ordinary business of the annual general meeting is as follows:

1/ to confirm the minutes of the previous annual general meeting;

2/ to receive and consider-

(i) the annual report of the Board on the activities of the Association during the preceding financial year; and

(ii) the financial statements of the Association for the preceding financial year submitted by the Board in accordance with Part 7 of the Act

(iii) to vote on proposed changes to Rules
Summary of proposed Rule Changes

A motion to change the Rules of The Association will be presented for Vote at the AGM.

The reasons for the Rule Changes are summarised as follow:

1.      To alter the Number of Board Members that may be elected. The reason for this is that with the growth of the Club, especially in the area of Netball, we need to provide the opportunity for a larger Board Structure. (Rule 46 (1) (b) refers)

2.      Currently the rules provide for the appointment of a Snr Vice President and 2 Junior Vice Presidents. Rule changes remove reference to those appointments and they are replaced by appointment of 2 Vice Presidents (Rule’s 46 (2),  48, 58 (1) refer)

3.      Currently the rules are confusing with respect to terms of appointment for both President and The Board Members and changes are proposed to provide clarity as below:

-      - A President holding Office as a result of a casual vacancy (if existing Board member) or a Board appointment, shall understand that this is a temporary position and that they will vacate office at the Annual General Meeting immediately following their appointment,

-        A Board Member holding Office as a result of either a Board appointment, or a casual vacancy,  shall understand that this is a temporary position and that they will vacate office at the Annual  General Meeting immediately following their appointment,

-        Rules 52 (1 and 2), 54 and 57 refer.
