Notice of a Special General Meeting

A Special General Meeting of the Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society will be held at Whakapapa Village, Tongariro National Park, on Sunday 22 November 1987, at 8.30 am at the request of the National Council. The meeting will consider remits which were not considered at the Annual General Meeting because insufficient notice was given of the meeting. The remits are as follows: 1. Rule 16 (a) be altered to read as follows: ‘‘A Special General Meeting of the Society may be called at any time by the Executive and shall be called upon the written request of the President or 50% of members of the Council or 5% of members of the Society. Such requests shall be sent to the Secretary and shall specify the resolutions to be moved at the meeting. Notice of such Special General Meetings shall be advertised in the next issue of ‘‘Forest & Bird’’ subsequent to the receipt of such request by the Secretary and shall take place within 30 days of the notice appearing in the Journal. The same percentage shall apply to Special General Meetings of the Branches." 2. Rule 6 (3) shall be added: "The Register of Members of the Society shall not be made available to any other organisation." No other business will be considered.
