Constitution

In order to qualify to use Scottish Government Right-to-Buy (RTB) legislation in the future, the Trust had adopted a new constitution conforming to the Companies Act 2006 at the AGM on 22 September 2015. Subsequently, the Trust was advised by OSCR that certain clauses did not conform to the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Therefore, this EGM is called to adopt the new constitution as required by OSCR.

The Members present at this EGM agreed to adopt a special resolution:

That the revised Articles of Association dated 9 December 2015 shall replace the previous Articles of Association as registered with the Registrar of Companies.

This special resolution was proposed by Victor, seconded by Dinah and agreed unanimously. The revised constitution was then signed by all Members present, and will be duly registered with Companies House and OSCR.

Appointment of Directors  

The Trust had been advised that Mr Jim Connor had expressed an interest in becoming a Director of the Trust.  David M proposed that Jim be elected a Director; this was seconded by Dinah and unanimously agreed.
