Members are reminded that in terms of clause 4.2 of the constitution, nomination of candidates for election to the committee shall be in writing, signed by the member and accompanied by the written consent of the candidate nominated, so as to be received at the domicilium of the Association, P O Box 665, Rondebosch 7701 or at the physical address at 9 Hill Park Lane, Mowbray, not later than five days before the meeting.

Provided that notwithstanding the aforegoing, the chairman of such meeting may, in his sole discretion, allow any nominee to consent to his nomination at the meeting itself, if, in his opinion, there are special grounds therefore. Please note that this means that the chairman cannot accept a late nomination – only a late consent to nomination.

In terms of clause 4.2.1, only six new committee members need to be elected at this year’s AGM.
