Appendix A
The second and third resolutions are in respect of the amendments to Rules, Bye-Laws and Articles that are necessary as a concomitant to the restructuring of the Club, which was approved by Members in October 2012 at the AGM. The amendments, together with detailed commentary and explanation, are contained in
Appendix B.
