Calm before the storm.
EGM must be announced by Friday if there is no negotiated outcome in the meantime.
So is there negotiations going on as we speak?

Hypothetically, what happens if the club breaches the constitution by not calling an EGM by Friday?

My understanding is that the requisitioner can then set a date for the EGM.

Can't we just send the boys around?
Would the current board be in violation of the constitution if this happened or is it fine to do, assuming they know the requisitioner will probably schedule an early EGM?

The Constitution says that the board "shall forthwith proceed to convene a general meeting". It doesn't say what happens if they don't within the 21 days, other than that the requisitionist can then schedule it, in accordance with the Corporations Act. I don't think there is a consequence for not scheduling it.

"Let's take this outside shall we?"
"Go ahead! Start without me!"
"Go ahead! Start without me!"
Cheers.

I'd be very surprised if Angus didn't schedule an EGM and allowed Williams to do it.
He wants to look in control here, plus, scheudling it himself gives him the ability to schedule it as late as November 13.
If Williams was in control of the scheduling he could make it as soon as 25 October.

Of course you're all assuming that Salma would ever be seen out in public again after our blissful union. Neither would I for that matter.

Just looking at the Corps Act (and I'm no whizz) if the directors fail to call it, the members can proceed anyway, and the club (not the requisitioners) foots the bill, with the directors responsible for the failure to call then to reimburse the club.
In which case, it's going to get called.

Don't think that will be an issue. If anything, I think more people have become frustrated by Angus's refusal to make good on his "if you don't like it, kick us out" challenge.

Hoping you are right....has LTR kept these people up to date with info etc to keep the feeling of involvement?
Yeah, I think so. Got to find the balance between keeping people informed but not emailing unnecessarily.
Once an EGM is called there would be another communique.
The vote will be for all of the 11000 full members note just the people that filled out the forms calling for an EGM. But we can't just leave it to TLR to inform members with what's going on we can help also by passing information on too. Just this afternoon I had a conversation with an elderly friend who is a member but none the wiser as to what is happening as she doesn't have email etc.
ps she wants Johnson out also

Kind of like Whitlam in reverse!
Maybe that is Johnsons new slogan Apathy breeds success
In practice, that's not really the way it works with calling meetings... the club will call it within the prescribed time period, or they'll be in violation of the constitution. Therefore it will be called within the prescribed time period.
I know it's not really a legal argument, but going against the constitution really isn't an option for the company. Read an article saying the date would be today, so I'd expect either a withdrawal or an EGM call today.
