Please be advised that the 2015 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Australian Fencing Federation Ltd ACN 161 544 752 (AFF Ltd) will be held at 7:00pm on Saturday, 28 November 2015.
This meeting is the initial AGM of AFF Ltd, following the transfer of incorporation from Australian Fencing Federation Incorporated (AFF Inc) completed in August 2015.
The AGM will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the new constitution of AFF Inc (copy attached), which was approved at the last AGM of AFF Inc on 3 May 2015 and came into effect on the registration of AFF Ltd on 12 August 2015.
The primary purpose of the AGM is to implement the initial arrangements for the rotation of elected director positions under the new constitution. Given the brief period for which AFF Ltd has been in existence, formal reports will not be presented at the meeting. Reports will be prepared for the period ending 31 December 2015 and presented at the next AGM, which is scheduled to take place in May 2016.
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ELECTED DIRECTOR POSITIONS
In accordance with the transitional provisions regarding the initial directors of AFF Ltd (as set out in clause 13.3 of the constitution), three of the existing directors will retire at the AGM.
The Board has agreed that the three directors who will retire are Jeremy Scudds, Graham Markey and Evelyn Halls. (Two of the retiring directors - Jeremy Scudds and Evelyn Halls, have confirmed that they are willing to stand for re-election at the AGM, subject to being nominated by a Member State.)
Under clause 13.1(b) of the constitution, up to five Director positions may be filled by elected directors. Following the retirements of Jeremy, Graham and Evelyn, there will be two vacant director positions. At the AGM, elections will be held to fill these two positions.
