SLT General Council Proxy Form

Resolutions

There are three resolutions to consider in the meeting:
1. Section A - Membership and Supporters

Resolution: To change the name of 'Friend of SLT' to 'SLT Supporter'.

The change is being mooted to more accurately describe this category and to avoid the confusion that sometimes arises by the use of the word 'friend'. Frequently guests are friends of an SLT member but not a paid up friend of SLT.

2. Section A - Subscriptions

Resolution: To raise the age of senior concession from 60+ to 65+ years.

The proposal is being made to bring eligibility for this concession closer in line with UK state pension age. If the change is approved, it would apply to SLT members not yet in receipt of this age related concession who would now need to wait until they are 65 years old. It would not apply retrospectively so any SLT Member already in receipt of 60 + concession but not yet 65 years of age would retain this concession. The impact of the change to SLT is a slight increase in income as more members will pay full membership rates for longer.

3. With reference to Article 30 of Articles of Association (updated at Extraordinary General Meeting on 3rd Feb 2020)

To change the quorum for General Council meetings from half its voting membership to half of its voting membership or not less than five, whichever is the higher figure.

The proposal is being made to clarify the situation when there are vacancies on GC to ensure any key decisions are voted on by at least 5 appointed GC Members.
