Time: 7.00 pm

Place: The Winterbourne, Winterbourne Bassett, SN4 9QB

THE BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

The meeting is called for one purpose only. Members will be asked to consider, and if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an Extraordinary Resolution:

“That the Society adopts the Plunkett UK Model Rules Version 7.3 (October 2025) in place of its existing Rules, being the Plunkett Foundation Model Rules Version 4 (February 2017), and that the Management Committee be authorised to register the new Rules with the Financial Conduct Authority and with Plunkett UK.”

No other business will be transacted at the meeting.

THE RULES PROPOSED

The proposal is to replace the Society’s Rules in full. The Rules to be amended are all of the Society’s existing Rules, and the terms of the new Rules proposed are those of the Plunkett UK Model Rules Version 7.3. A complete copy of the proposed Rules, together with the Society’s current Rules and a plain-English summary of the changes, is available below, and has been sent to every member by email.

WHO MAY ATTEND AND VOTE

The meeting is open to all members of the Society. Every member has one vote, whatever the size of their shareholding, and the resolution requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast. The Society’s current Rules make no provision for proxy voting, so members who wish to vote should attend in person.
