Equestrian Australia’s rescheduled Annual General Meeting on January 25 lapsed after the number of voting members required in person or by proxy to form a quorum was not met.
Under normal circumstances, only 20 voting members are required to constitute a quorum at the AGM, but as there was a ‘Special Business Notice of Motion’ on the agenda 5% of voting members were required. While this equated to 820 voting members, 654 voting members attended.
The ‘Special Business Notice of Motion’ tabled for the meeting was looking to grant Equestrian Northern Territory the same voting rights as those held by other state branches. That motion has also lapsed but this does not restrict the submission of a further ‘Notice of Motion’, which is allowed under the current constitution.
