At the AGM, the society must allow one of the proposers, who must be a voting member, to present the proposal at the AGM. However, if the proposal relates substantially to a matter that was already considered at a general meeting within the previous two calendar years, then the society does not have to include the proposal with the AGM notice, and it does not have to allow a proposer to present the proposal at the AGM. | ||
