OMG!!!
Let's be clear...
Proposals are voted on by BRCA members, which turn them into Rules that are enforced by the relevant members of the Section Committees or the Exec. At the end of October each year, the BRCA holds its Association AGM, and each Section holds its Section AGM.
So, Ashley, the membership vote in the Rules; Charlie, the BRCA Committees enforce the Rules, and David, the AGM date is also your Section AGM, so that's the cut-off date.
Go to
www.brca.org and read the Handbook - it saves the hankies I need to mop up the tears of laughter, as you lot come flying in so bloody confident you can guess it all, and falling flat on your faces!!
(that's me laughing, you understand!!
