June 25, 2019 monthly meeting, a motion to change a bylaw will be put forth<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Due to frequent lack of attendance at some of our meetings, the Executive committee has decided not to hold our monthly meetings in July and August, resuming meetings in September.<\/p>\n

In accordance with the CORE bylaws, this Special Resolution must be passed by a minimum of 75% of the votes cast at the meeting, the next one being on June 25. Please come and support your club and take part in this Special Resolution which, if passed, will mark the last meeting before we resume again in September.<\/p>\n
