To consider, and if thought fit, to approve as a single motion as follows:

Sole Motion:
To approve the amendments to the Society's Rules proposed by the Board of Directors summarised as follows:


• to approve the issue of a new C class of shares, which will be for a fixed term for a period of 12 months with interest applied at a rate determined by the Board of Directors, at its discretion;

• to approve the issue of a new D class of shares, which will be for a fixed term for a period of 24 months with interest applied at a rate determined by the Board of Directors, at its discretion;

• to approve a change in the interest payment terms for B class shares, where interest is paid through the 90 days’ notice period to the date of withdrawal;

• to allow a Member to subscribe for their initial A class share either by paying £1 upon initial application or to permit the Society to deduct and retain some or all of such sum from any future dividend or dividends paid in favour of the Member;

• to amend the dormancy provisions so that they relate to the A share class only and member inactivity through lack of relevant purchases made against an A share class account;

• to remove clauses 10.1.1(A) and 10.6A which are no longer relevant as there are no Directors on the Board who held office prior to the 2018 rule change;

• to make it clear that membership is open to charitable, social and non-profit organisations whether they are body corporate or in the form of a legal person; and

• to make certain clarificatory and updating amendments, such that the Society's Rules shall be the clean version made available to the Members as described in this notice. 

The Society's Rules, as proposed to be amended in the Sole Motion and in clean and marked
