Fellow humbuggers,

	I am intending to submit to the Secretary of Humbug, to call for an 
Special General Meeting to move a motion to amend the current Humbug 
Constitution for the following :

 From :

General Meetings
11. A quorum of one third of the Financial Membership of the Club is 
required for a Special General Meeting.

To :

General Meetings
11. A quorum of three times the number of the Executive Committee plus one, 
of the Financial Membership of the Club is required for a Special General 
Meeting.
	e.g., if the executive committee numbers 5, you will require a quorum of 
5x3 = 15 + 1 which is 16 financial members.

	Since Humbug is getting pretty big, and getting quorums is getting harder, 
we require a better way for the Executive to get consent of the members to 
run the club more effectively.

	Please email your support of this to me, and when I have the required 
numbers, I will submit to the Secretary formally in writing.
