SOCIETY NOTICES

摘要

The meeting was attended by 51 members and was quorate in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution of the Society. The minutes of the 2018 AGM were accepted. The Hon. President Steve Warren thanked Southern Branch members and the organising committee for putting together the ASM weekend. Steve explained that the main focus of Council over the last year has been on the proposed changes to our Branches and Constitution. The former Northern and South East Branches closed due to member apathy and a failure to fill committee posts. This is not a problem that will go away and the amalgamated North and Southern Branches face a clear risk that they may not be quorate in the future. Council has consulted with Branches and members over the past year and has put forward proposed changes to the Constitution for members to comment on. Council is very clear that it believes the proposed changes are the best way forward for the Society as a whole.
