The revisions proposed are not sufficient to reflect the nature of the Organisation. I think it is neither an ”exclusive” club nor a timeshare ”business” but rather a friendly holiday membership cooperative. The Articles should reflect this!

The only attempt to define who is a member when a Certificate is in Joint Names is when voting takes places – not a significant event! But who is the member on the death of one of the parties (and gifting has been declined) – a very defining event!

Article 27
New Rules & Bye-Laws
This addition seems quite important. It appears to take away changes of significance from the Membership in General Meeting and places them with the Board. So new rules can be imposed without the need for explanation, discussion or agreement (by at least 75% of the membership) The only recourse would be a resolution after the event (ie when the matter is reported at an AGM) and to a future General (requiring (needing 10% of membership in support) or to the next AGM (requirng a sponsor and a seconder). So changes to matters engrossed in the Articles should be specifically excluded eg Membership and Termination of Membership criteria,

Membership Articles, particularly 13.3 and 15.1 need to allow for some appeal procedure to ensure the Board cannot ’unreasonably’ deny membership or transfer.
