An Extraordinary General Meeting was held at Crescent House, Ballard Estate, Bombay 1 BR on 27th December 1972 at 5.30 p.m. for the purpose of approving the following resolutions:

1. To replace Clause 10 of the Rules and Regulations by a completely new clause reading as under :

"Without prejudice to the powers of the Managing Committee hereinafter defined, the entrance fee and subscription payable by a member as from January 1, 1973 shall be as follows :

 

The Managing Committee shall have power at any time to vary the subscription payable by any class of member and to make rules for payment of subscription of an Overseas Member in a currency other than Indian Rupees."

2. To add to Rule 16 two new subrules (e) and (f) reading as under:

Sub-Rule (e)

"Life Members will receive the Journal of the Club only on payment at a price to be fixed by the Managing Committee from time to time and provided they pay in advance a lumpsum amount to cover at least five issues of the Journal."

Sub-Rule (f)

"Student members will receive the Journal of the Club only on payment at a price to be fixed by the Managing Committee from time to time."

Explanatory Statement

The Membership Fees have not been increased for over a decade. In the meantime, costs have gone up and particularly in regard to the production of the Himalayan Journal, which is the main expense of the Club. The cost of Volume XXX has risen to a level which has strained the current finances and reserves of the Club. With a view to spread the cost of production equitably between the Ordinary Members and the Life Members, the Committee, after deliberation and obtaining views from various centres of the Club, came to the conclusion that the policy of free issue of the Journal to Life Members could no longer be economically justified and that Life Members should be called upon in future, to contribute partially towards the cost of the Journal.

CLUB NEWS

At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 16th June 1971 in Bombay certain resolutions were adopted to move the Principal Office of the Club from Calcutta in the State of West Bengal to Bombay, in the State of Maharashtra. This proposal was made in view of the administrative difficulties experienced at Calcutta in recent years due to the frequent transfers of members of the Committee. Due to various legal difficulties involved, the Committee, after obtaining solicitors' opinion decided to continue the Registered Office at Calcutta and the administration of the Club to be conducted from Bombay. This was found to be suitable solution for the implementation as best as possible of the unanimous resolution passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 16th June 1971.
