         Still you are not tackling the issue of meeting an acceptable 
quorum at an SGM.

         Quorum = deemed to be the consitutional attendence representative 
of the organisation at a meeting for it to pass motions that is binding.

         So what if we have Active Financial Members but at an SGM there is 
not enough numbers to meet quorum ?

         Humbug is non political, and taking away their vote serves no 
purpose. Why do we want to have a clause that I feel is so "political" in 
nature ?
