Consistent with our Notice of Motion to amend Clause 3.1(f), we are lodging a Remit in accordance with the Club's By-laws, proposing to insert the clause below entitled "Vehicle Eligibility" into the By-laws, which are appended to the constitution. The clause describes the default steps followed to determine the date of construction of a vehicle. If the Executive passes the remit, the dating process will be readily available for the members to refer to, and will complement our Notice of Motion above.
