28 August, 2022
The Board of Archery NZ is pleased to advise that our scrutineers have confirmed the results of the electronic ballot to revise our Constitution.
The new Constitution and membership structure has been passed - 67 votes in favour, 11 against, and 1 abstained. This result (85% in favour) comfortably exceeds the 2/3 majority required for altering the Constitution.
The Board would like to thank our members for their support.
The new Constitution (and associated Admin Rules) will come into effect on 1 October 2022, and will be published on the website from this date, and lodged with the Incorporated Societies.
Process for Clubs to become Affiliated Clubs
The Board will shortly be in touch with clubs to confirm their intentions with regard to becoming Affiliated Clubs, and to confirm details of the procedure for implementation, to ensure that the Privacy Act is complied with.
