*The Constitution and Rules (C&R) were amended as approved at the 2008 AGM and submitted to the Registrar General’s office. The Registrar General (RG) required additional changes to the C&R to comply with the Act. The changes required by the RG were incorporated using sections from the “Model Rules” and such changes do not require member approval. The C&R is considered to be the Deed of Association with the Society and therefore changes must be approved by the Society. The Society has accepted the changes, although it has recommended some clarification of wording be introduced at the next amendment.
