Agenda
1. Apologies for absence.
2. Minutes of last meeting (26 November 2008).
3. Correspondence.
4. Finance: To receive the Club Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2009. A copy of the Accounts may be inspected at the Reception desk at the School in the week before the meeting. Copies will also be sent to any member before the meeting upon application to the Treasurer.
5. To consider and vote upon Resolution 1:
To approve the transfer of £5,000 or monies worth from the Benevolent Fund to the War Memorial Fund with immediate effect and to instruct the Treasurer accordingly.
(Note from the Treasurer on Resolution 1. The Benevolent Fund has over the last ten years had only limited call upon its funds to meet hardship amongst former pupils of the City of London School. Under the rules of the charitable funds, the members at the AGM may approve the transfer of funds from the Benevolent Fund to the War Wemorial Fund. The War Memorial Fund itself was set up by a transfer out of the Benevolent Fund with objectives more widely drawn than those of the Benevolent Fund so as to be able to benefit those associated directly with the School and the School itself. Following a review of all the Club’s funds, the General Committee is recommending the transfer of £5,000 to the War Memorial Fund out of the Benevolent Fund.)
6. To receive the Report of the General Committee for the year 2008/2009.
7. To consider and vote upon Resolution 2
That the Draft Rules tabled by the Honorary Secretary be adopted in substitution for the existing Rules of the Club.
