BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

This is the only business of the meeting.

Attached is:

the existing Constitution

the Proposed New Constitution

Notes on the Proposed Constitution
The Proposed New Consitution brings the format and the organisation of the content in line with modern constitution templates.
The documents referred to were:

South Australia: Associations Incorporation Act 1985 (attached)
The Office for Recreation and Sport: Model State Sport Organisation Constitution
Sport General Principles for South Austrlian State Sport Associations (website here)
Consumer and Business Services: An Example of Rules For an incorporated Association (website here),
Consumer and Busines Services: Checklist for proposed rules/alteration of rules of an association (website here),
Ice Skating Australia Inc: Constitution V8 ~ 2016 (see ISA Constitution and By-Laws),
South Australian Synchronised Ice Skating Club Constitution, Dec 2015 (see SASISC Constitution).

The significant change is the voting age: this has been brought in line with legal and reporting requirements to be 18 years and older instead of the existing 16 years and older. A transition period has been written into the Constitution so that those turning 16 before the acceptance of the new constitution have the option to remain voting members.
