The Extraordinary General Meeting will be be held at Sport HQ, Parkwest Business Park Dublin 12 on the 11th day of November 2012 at 2 pm.
The purpose of this Extraordinary General Meeting is to amend the Articles of Association to give the Directors/Trustees a term of office of two years.
This action is being taken in accordance with the wishes of the members, as expressed at the 2011 Annual General Meeting, which took place on the 14th August, 2011 at the Roganstown Hotel & Country Club. The following is an explanation of the events which will take place at the EGM.

Therefore, as agreed by the members at the 2011 Annual General Meeting, we are now proposing a term of office of two years for the Directors of the Association.
