I have updated the above Rule Proposals with everything I have received. It is now past the closing date for these so no others will be accepted.

If you are attending the AGM could you please have a read through last years minutes so I don't have to print off a load of copies and save a bit of time on the evening.
These can be found on the Sussex AGM 2016 thread (or some nice person may put a link on here for me)
