DELEGATES' VOTING 2017

The results are in. Devon's ladies voted "Yes" to all 3 proposals as follows:

1. In accordance with paragraph 21 of the Constitution, to delete paragraph 23 of the Constitution and to replace it with the following:-

Clause 23 – Dissolution of the DCLGA

 “A majority of members voting at any General Meeting or Annual General Meeting may resolve to transfer the business and assets to any golf body provided such body shall include within its purposes promoting, administering and encouraging the development of, and wider participation in, and furthering the interest of amateur golf within Devon. Such transfer may include an agreement to indemnify DCLGA, its officers, members, and members of any of its committees against all costs, claims, demands, actions and proceedings relating to their assets and undertakings and in respect of all liabilities, obligations and commitments.

Whether or not such transfer has taken place, a majority of members voting at any General Meeting or Annual General Meeting may resolve to dissolve the DCLGA, and that such dissolution take effect immediately, by such date specified in the Resolution, or on a date agreed by the Committee.  If upon the winding up or dissolution of DCLGA there remains after the satisfaction of all its debts and liabilities any property whatsoever the same shall be paid to or distributed among the clubs affiliated to the DCLGA.

For the avoidance of doubt, provided the necessary Notices have been given for such resolutions at either a General or Annual General Meeting, and provided the vote does not take place until this Paragraph comes into effect, such Notices may have been served prior to this Paragraph coming into effect.”  

2.  That the proposal to merge the Association with the Devon County Golf Union (‘the Proposal’) be approved and carried into effect, subject to the Proposal also being approved and carried into effect by the     Devon County Golf Union and subject also to Devon Golf Limited adopting new Articles of Association and Rules in the form presented to the meeting and for the purpose of identification signed by the Chair.

3.  Subject to the passing of Resolution 1 and 2 above and to the Proposal being approved and carried into effect by the Devon County Golf Union, that the Committee be authorised to

• Transfer the business and assets of the Association to Devon Golf Limited and

• Dissolve the Association on such date as shall be agreed by the Committee.

RECOMMENDATION

Proposed by Downes Crediton and seconded by East Devon

 "Some County finals or other County Competitions such as the Express & Echo and the County Bowmaker could be held at weekends to give working ladies and, indeed, young aspiring school and college players the opportunity to play in these matches."
