NOTICE OF A SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING 

NOTICE is hereby given that a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of members will be held in the Point Yacht Club clubhouse on MONDAY, 30 AUGUST 2010 at 18h00 to consider and if deemed fit, to pass with or without amendment the under mentioned resolutions proposed by the General Committee:- 

SPECIAL RESOLUTION– Authority to dispose of Husky THAT, in terms of clause 16(b) of the Constitution, the General Committee be and is hereby authorised to dispose of Husky by the General Committee on such terms and conditions as the General Committee may determine. 

MOTIVATION

The club acquired Husky as a Bridge and Rescue boat some 33 years ago.  She has done outstanding service and is now ready to be retired. The decision has been taken by the General Committee to dispose of Husky for approximately R20 000 and consider purchasing a replacement Bridge boat.  

The General Committee requires authority to dispose of any asset of the club under clause 16(b) of the Constitution which provides:            

“The General Committee may, upon being authorised thereto by a Resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting at a Special General Meeting of the club –

a.                                     carry out the sale … of any property of the club”. 

For this reason, it is necessary for the General Committee to seek approval of the members to dispose of Husky. 

RESOLUTION OF PYC DURBAN MARINA LESSEES – Appointment of Representatives to the Durban Marina 

That the PYC Durban Marina lessees recommend to the General Committee that: 

(a)        Nigel Milln and Keith Stewart be appointed as PYC member representatives on the Durban Marina; and

(b)        Nigel Milln and Keith Stewart be appointed PYC directors of the Durban Marina.

MOTIVATION: In terms of the Articles of Association of the Durban Marina (an association incorporated under Section 21), the ordinary membership shall consist of eight members being 

(a)        two members who shall be members of the PYC nominated by its General Committee and the Commodore for the time being of the club; 

(b)        two members who are nominated by the General Committee of the Royal Natal Yacht Club and its Commodore; and (c)        two members nominated by the Durban Boatowners Association.   

Nomination of directors can only be made by ordinary members of the Durban Marina namely the PYC, RNYC or Durban Boatowners and are elected at a General Meeting.   

There has been some suggestion that the clubs are not representative of the Durban Marina lessees.  For this reason the General Committee wishes to seek directions from those members who are lessees of the Durban Marina to support the appointment of the clubs’ current nominated member representative and directors. 

The General Committee recommends that the PYC member representatives and directors be Nigel Milln and Keith Stewart.  Should any PYC Durban Marina lessee wish to make any other recommendations as to the appointment of the PYC member representatives and directors, their names must be submitted to the club secretary at least two days before the Special General Meeting.  

Only PYC members who are Durban Marina lessees shall be called upon to vote on this resolution.
