2008 AGM MEETING
Dear Members, I would like to thank members who attended our July meeting and Dr David Phalen for his presentation on the night. As most of you may or may not be aware the club AGM was held at our july meeting. At this years meeting we had 3 resolution to be pass and voted by our members. I would like to thank all members, visitors and guest speakers for the support you have all given the club. I hope to see you all at our next meeting. Resolution 1 Voting of the 2008/09 Committee, this year we only had one nominee per position, therefore the results to the resolutions is as follow: President - Pablo Bolomey Vice-President - Leonie Hoswell Treasurer - Open Secretary - Wendy Turbull General Committee 1 - Bob Gleasson General Committee 2 - Gregory Davis General Committee 3 - James Watkins General Committee 4 - Peter Johnson Webmaster - David Mills Editor - Kisty Bolomey Resolution 2 Name Change for the Society from 'MACARTHUR HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY' to its trading alias of 'MACARTHUR REPTILE SOCIETY' This resolution was pass by majority votes. Therefore within the next few months you will see our new name listed and promoted. At we will not changed the logo only the wording and our name will still be 'MACARTHUR HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY' but we will be trading as 'MACARTHUR REPTILE SOCIETY'. Resolution 3 Change of constitution regarding the committee positions and period sitting in office. Currently the committee can only sit for a term of 12 months we are now changing this to 24 months. The re-election of the committee will be split in half, odd years the following positions will be up for election President, Treasurer, General Committee 1-3 and even years Vice-President, Secretary, General Committee 2-4. So to start this next year the President, Treasurer and General Committee 1-3 will be up for re-election. Under Section 3 Rule 14.1b it is stated that “3 ordinary each members, each of whom is to be elected at the annual general meeting of the association under rule 15” Under Section 3 Rule 14.3 it is stated that “Each member of the committee is, subject to these rules to hold office until the conclusion of the annual general meeting following the date of the member’s election, but is eligible for re-election” The committee is proposing the following changes: Under Section 3 Rule 14.3 it is stated that “Each member of the committee is, subject to these rules to hold office until the conclusion of the 2nd annual general meeting following the date of the member’s election, but is eligible for re-election” Under Section 3 Rule 14.1b it is stated that “3 ordinary each members, each of whom is to be elected at every 2nd annual general meeting of the association under rule 15”

IMPORTANT:
Venomous snakes are not to be brought to the meetings – the committee wishes to make it clear that if a member so chooses to bring venomous reptiles to our meetings they are personally responsible for any consequences of their doing so.
