The first scheduled Annual General Meeting opened at 3pm on the 14th July 2018. The meeting was not quorate so the Chair declared the meeting adjourned at 3:05pm. Members were notified on the 17th July 2018 of the date and location of the rescheduled meeting.

The meeting opened at 2pm. The chair noted that there were 5 members present and that 37 proxies had been received. The meeting was therefore not quorate. In accordance with the memorandum and articles, the meeting was suspended until 2.15 pm. At that point, as described in Article 7.5 of the Articles of Association, those ‘present in person or by proxy constituted the quorum’.
