The club’s Annual General Meeting will take place at 7:00pm on Wednesday, May 27th at the club.

Annual reports will be given, new board members will be voted on, and we have a proposed amendment to the bylaws.

The following bylaw change has been proposed by the Board of Directors (which requires a 21 day notice).

If you have any questions please forward them to the club manager’s email and he will pass them along to the board (or you can reach out directly to a board member of you have their contact information).

Motion to Amend the By-Laws – Eligibility of Youth Directors

Motion:

Moved that Article 2.1.1 of the Cornwall Curling Club By-Laws be amended to permit up to two (2) Youth Members in Good Standing to be eligible for election as Directors of the Board of Directors.

Current Wording of Article 2.1.1:

“No person shall be eligible for election as a Director unless that person is an Adult Member in good standing of the Club.”

Proposed Amended Wording of Article 2.1.1:

“The affairs of the Club shall be conducted by the Board of Directors, composed of twelve (12) Directors elected by voting Members. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director unless that person is an Adult Member in good standing of the Club, provided however that up to two (2) Youth Members in good standing may also be eligible for election as Directors.”

Points of consideration:

This proposed amendment would mean that Youth Directors have full voting rights on the Board. 

This wording does not impact Article 4: Meetings and Voting which states “Only Adult Members are able to vote at meetings”. The amendment does not grant Youth Members voting rights at meetings.

No other articles of the by-laws would be impacted by this proposed amendment.
