| Administrative History | A Special General Meeting (SGM) can be called at any time for the purpose of taking special matters relating to the business of the Society into consideration. A certain period of notice has to be given to all Fellows who were resident in the United Kingdom, and no other business can be discussed other than that for which the meeting was called. Special General Meetings are mostly concerned with establishing, modifying or repealing orders or bye-laws. |
