Thank you Sir, I was merely suggesting that an up to date copy on the
internet would be useful to a lot of people, not just new members. It would
mean producing another piece of paper, but I have to say that new members do
receive a lot of bits of paper: rules, plans of the building, list of things
to buy from the bookshop, how to work the coat locks without clamping
yourself in, <g>.
Seriously, I do think it to be important that members can be given a copy of
their Constitution somehow.
