I realise this should posted on the BCA web site but do not have access yet.
The BCA rules are relevent to all cavers so maybe should be discussed here.
One of the proposed rule changes is:
8.4 Notice of any matters to be raised at a General Meeting of the Association, including all proposals for constitutional change, must reach the Secretary by midnight on the day of the National Council meeting preceding the AGM.
(currently the rule specifies 9 weeks before the date of the AGM).
As far as I can see there is nothing in the constitution which defines when the National Council meetings must be held, other than rule 6.12 which says the National Council must meet at least twice per year.
Thus the proposed change is not telling the membership when proposals have to be submitted by.
Can someone answer the following:
What happens if a National Council meeting is cancelled or postponed?
What happens if a National Council meeting is held within the six weeks before an AGM?
