Now if I were to have this club changed. . . . I wouldn't go for the route that MPGA are going for.

I would change the constitution of the PNRLC to be that anyone who purchased a membership (All 29k or more) as long as they are actual persons over the age of 15 (so no pet or Sparky members) are members of the PNRLC and after 3 years have voting rights for the PNRLC board.

The same regulations on board members would apply as is noted here

https://www.parraleagues.com.au/wp-...ion-Parramatta-Leagues-Club-December-2019.pdf in Section 9

and

Parramatta Leagues Club Group Pty LTD has 7 directors.

Parramatta Leagues Club Group Pty LTD (PLC) has numerous sub companies one of which is Parramatta National Rugby League Club (PNRLC) Limited, a limited liability club without members. The Leagues Club (PLC) has 2 delegate positions on the board of the 7 seat PNRLC and the others are appointed.

Back in the 2009 elections we called it the "Special Condition" and as such you had 2 elections. 5 board members elections and 2 board members that were already LC board members and as such meet the "Special Condition"

The current proposal is to vacate instead of the standard 2 board members per year that 4 are vacated. Allowing a ticket if formed and elected to take control of the board in one go.

The intent for this EGM is for the PLC to provide the PNRLC with 4 delegates and as such have a majority.

Just a quick clarification Mark, if you don't mind.

The intent of this EGM is to remove 4 current PLC directors with a fifth motion that requests a new ballot to replace them be held before the next AGM (in late February). The idea being that this will give the MAGA group the 2 initial spots that crossover to the PNRL Board as well as a majority on the PLC Board.

There would need to be another step to change the PNRL Constitution to accept 4 PLC crossover directors and that change would require at least a 75%+1 majority of PLC Voting Members.

So they want to try for 6 positions from 2 elections all before February.
Cute.

I am also investigating the costs of an AGM / EGM.

Note that we have engaged Computershare (Computershare.com) for our meetings for a while. They will hande the mailouts and the voting. Some pricing I have seen puts the costs for a 1000 person AGM (please remember we have 65,000) at about $95k

Yikes. I was wondering where these costs actually come from.

At the end of the day it's just member register integrity/maintenance, direct mailing of ballots (with return envelopes), collection and security of returned ballots, and secure counting services (with transparency and accountabilities etc).

Seems like money for jam.

Is there some form of protection for the club that this sort of EGM cannot be called again by the same faction if it is defeated?

The mechanisms to trigger an EGM are necessary so that if merkins like Spagnolo ever get in by chance, that it is within reach to oust him.

Likewise, if the first attempt fails then it should not rule out all attempts.

Spagnolo needs a majority in the November count (50% +1), so getting 200 signatures was the easy bit. The recent SMH article outing him was timely and I suspect there will be more. That facebook page is noticeably quiet with an absence of the organisers, who apparently have nothing to do with Spags.

Does anyone know if Raaay had said anything about this yet and whose side he is on ?

Surely the same 200 signatures calling for EGM can't call for another EGM within a time frame for the same resolution if it is defeated!
