NOTICE TO MANX ELECTRIC RAILWAY SOCIETY
MEMBERS
Notice is hereby given that an Annual General
Meeting of the Manx Electric Railway Society will
be held in the Archibald Knox Public House Meeting
Room, Avondale Road, Onchan, Isle of Man on
Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at 8.00pm precisely.
Written nominations from the Candidate, Proposer
and Seconder for new committee Members/Officials
must be in the hands of the General Secretary not

Constitution to be amended with replacement clauses
4 and 6 as follows: -
4 MEMBERSHIP
4 (A) From October 15, 2014 a new category of
membership shall exist called "E membership" which
will be for those who become members of the Manx
Electric Railway Society as members through the
internet without any arrangements for, or
expectation of, (by virtue of their E membership),
being sent communications by post including the
Manx Transport Review and any notifications
pursuant to the constitution from the Society which
in the case of E members may be sent
electronically. Such persons will be permitted to
be members of the Manx Electric Railway Society at
a reduced rate in comparison with others. By the
very fact of acknowledgement of becoming an E
Member any pre-existing rights to postal
communication by the Society of data cease,
(notwithstanding that contractual arrangements
sitting outside the relationship of E Membership
will exist independently, for example an
arrangement to purchase a publication in printed
hard copy for an agreed price).
4 (B) ORDINARY, JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP &
'E'-MEMBERSHIP
Membership rates may be reviewed annually at the
discretion of the Committee which, shall in the
exercise of its discretion, have the power to
impose different Ordinary and Junior membership
rates to reflect the geographical location of
postal addresses of members or the fact that they
have either joined or elected to change their
membership to the aforementioned E Membership.
Decisions to decline to renew any kind of
membership must be by unanimous vote of the
Committee. Decisions to recommend new rates of
subscription must be by unanimous vote of the
Committee and be approved by a majority vote of the
membership at a General Meeting. The provisions in
this Constitution with regard to Notice in Writing
by members, (E members included) to officers of the
Society or the Society in general will continue to
require notice by letter delivered by hand or post
and will not be fulfilled by any form of electronic
communication.
6 VOTING RIGHTS
All members shall have a right to cast a
single vote at any General or Extraordinary General
Meeting. No member who has not paid their
subscription at the time of voting may vote. E
members may only vote in person. All other members
may cast their vote by Notice in Writing to the
General Secretary delivered 24 hours in advance of
any such meeting. The Society will not permit
multiple e memberships to be held by a single
person and any person holding such multiple E
memberships shall be entitled only to a single vote
regardless of the number of memberships
held.
By order September 2, 2014, J Nutter, General
Secretary
