Resolutions received
This is a list of resolutions to be considered at the AGM. All resolutions submitted will be published here by 1st September.
Resolution 1. Change all references in the Articles of Association and the Bye Laws from 'Artistic Director' to 'Theatre Director'.
When our new Articles were discussed and passed at the EGM, there was some concern that calling the Trustee responsible for the creative output of the theatre "Artistic Director" could be confusing as the role isn't that of a standard Artistic Director. It was agreed that we should change it to "Theatre Director". This is just a change to the name of the role and doesn't change the nature of the role or responsibilities covered. This resolution will allow us to change the Articles to reflect this.
Resolution 2. Correction to the Articles of Association to control changes to the classes of membership
Due to a typo in the articles agreed in May 2024, the following sentence was missed on Article 11 point 3.
(b) a special resolution is passed at a separate general meeting of the members of that class agreeing to the variation.
The whole of article 11 will now read:
Classes of membership
11 (1) The directors may establish classes of membership with different rights and obligations and shall record the rights and obligations in the register of members.
(2) The directors may not directly or indirectly alter the rights or obligations attached to a class of membership.
(3) The rights attached to a class of membership may only be varied if:
(a) three-quarters of the members of that class consent in writing to the variation; or
(b) a special resolution is passed at a separate general meeting of the members of that class agreeing to the variation.
Resolution 3. Approve the report and accounts for 2023.
Resolution 4. Appoint the auditors for the 2024 year.
