It is proposed that this meeting approves the following three additions to the Articles of Association of the Scottish Touch Association Ltd (STA). The first two additions are required for the successful application to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) to allow the STA to assume Charitable Status. Assuming Charitable Status will assist in fundraising activities for the STA as well as enhancing its integrity and legitimacy. The third addition is to clarify the meaning behind the existing Articles in relation to the election of the Secretary and Treasurer.
First addition:
Purposes
2. The Company’s purposes are to advance public participation in sport by:
(a) providing the opportunity for anyone to play and enjoy Touch irrespective of location or ability;
(b) attaining excellence in the Touch support network to develop the sport; and
(c) making Scotland competitive in international Touch.
Second addition:
Winding-up
55. If the Company is to be wound up or dissolved, the winding-up or dissolution process will be carried out in accordance with the procedures set out under the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Removal from Register and Dissolution) Regulations 2011.
56. Any surplus assets available to the Company immediately preceding its winding up or dissolution must be used for purposes which are the same as - or which closely resemble - the purposes of the Company as set out in these Articles
Third addition:
41. The Members in an annual general meeting shall elect:
(a) up to six Directors;
(b) a Secretary; and
(c) a Treasurer,
in each case from nominations made in accordance with article 35. No Director shall be entitled to serve more than six years continuously (unless he is elected separately as a President in terms of Article 54) but will be eligible for re-election after an interval of one year.
Please note that all members can vote in the election of the President. Only the nominated representative from each of the Regional Associations are entitled to vote for the other positions.
