ii Application for membership shall be made to the Honorary
Secretary of the Society.

iii Honorary Life membership may be conferred by the Society.

4. STATUS AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANISATION

The income and property of the Society shall be used solely for the promotion of its stated objectives. The members and the office-bearers shall have no rights to the property or other assets of the Society solely by virtue of them being members or office-bearers. No portion of the income or property of the Society shall be paid or distributed directly or indirectly to any person (otherwise than in the ordinary course of undertaking any public benefit activity) or to any member of the Society or Executive Committee, except as reasonable compensation for services actually rendered to the Society, or reimbursement of actual costs or expenses reasonably incurred on behalf of the Society.

5. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

i The Executive Committee shall administer the affairs of the Society.

ii The Executive Committee shall consist of a President, a Vice-President, an Honorary Secretary, an Honorary Treasurer, a Librarian, a Publicity Officer and any other office holder positions created by an Annual General Meeting. Other persons (not holding an office) may also be elected to the Executive Committee at an Annual General Meeting. These officers shall be elected for a period of one year at the Annual General Meeting.

iii Nominations for such offices shall be completed on an approved
form, seconded, signed by the nominee and be in the possession of the Honorary Secretary at least fourteen days prior to the Annual General Meeting.

iv All nominations shall be listed on the notice circulated to
members advising the date and agenda of the Annual General Meeting.

v At the Annual General Meeting a ballot shall first be taken
for the office of President, who will then take the chair and
conduct the election of the other officers.

vi Should nominations exceed the number required for any
office, the Chairperson shall conduct an election by ballot
and appoint a scrutineer. The election shall be by written
ballot. The candidate polling the greatest number of votes
for the office nominated shall be declared elected.

vii Should a vacancy occur in any office during the year, the
Executive Committee shall appoint a member for the un- expired term.

viii The Executive Committee shall meet as required.
ix The quorum of the Executive Committee shall be three (3) members

x The Committee shall have the authority to co-opt any person
or persons who in their opinion would render service to the Society.

xi Should any member behave in a manner contrary to the good
order and general wellbeing of the Society, its membership
or objectives, such member shall be requested to meet the
Executive Committee at a special meeting. Should the Executive
Committee after investigation and consideration, find
such a member's affiliation with the Society unacceptable
such decision shall be conveyed to the next General Meeting
at which a quorum is present. If, after hearing any explanation
which such member desires to submit, the General
Meeting is of the opinion that such a course is warranted, it
may then direct that the member's name be removed from the

be refused for a stipulated period.
