President $10,000
Vice Presidents – each $7,500
Directors – each $5,000
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Ordinary Resolution 2
In 2008 the Club was approached by developers, to consider committing for sale the Club’s properties known as The Epping Club Walk and the Epping Newsagency
The Club retained a property consultant with whom countless meetings were held to formulate a strategy for the prospective sale of the Club’s properties and by
forming a consortium with adjoining property owners to maximise the return on the investments.
Meetings with the Club’s legal advisers followed which culminated in Options being negotiated with the Club’s neighbours who were members of the consortium.
A national irm of real estate agents was retained.
After extensive negotiations and many meetings over the past nine years, the Club’s properties were successfully sold producing funds which will permit the Club to
conidently approach the future development of the Club for the beneit of its members.
Through all of this the Club’s President, Senior Vice Presidents and Directors, unwaveringly assisted by the Club’s CEO, devoted an extraordinarily amount of time, over
the past nine (9) years, which resulted in a very successful inancial result for the members. A gratuity is appropriate.
The Board recommends gratuities in the following amounts:
President $10,000
Vice Presidents – each $7,500
Directors – each $5,000
The aggregate of those gratuities is $50,000.
Special Resolution
That Clause 15 of the Constitution of the Club be amended as follows:
- Clause 15(b) of the Club’s Constitution be deleted and replaced with Clause 15(b) in the following terms:
“That the Meeting referred to in Clause 15(a) shall be held within one (1) month of the date of the alleged offence or the date on which the complaint is laid or
the next meeting of the Board of Directors and that seven (7) days written notice thereof shall be given to each member of the Board of Directors.”
- Clause 15(c) of the Club’s Constitution be amended by adding thereto the following:
“………..The Board of Directors may decide the matter notwithstanding the member, properly notified, fails to attend the said Meeting.”
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Special Resolution
The Board recommends these amendments to the Club’s Constitution to more eficiently address the subject matter of Clause 15 which deals with the suspension of
members.
