And whereas under the rules the general committee of the club consists of the office-bearers who (other than the trustees) shall be elected at the annual general meeting of the club and a number of members of the club duly elected at an annual meeting of the club. And whereas under the rules the trustees are 2 in number and shall be elected at a general meeting of the club and shall hold office until death, resignation or removal from office. And whereas the last election of office-bearers (including trustees) and of members of the club to constitute the general committee of the club occurred on 30 September 1965 and it is doubtful whether, under the rules, the persons then elected (other than the trustees) now constitute the general committee of the club. And whereas neither of the trustees then elected has died, resigned or been removed from office. And whereas since January 1965 the club has been dormant. And whereas the affairs and assets of the club cannot be administered in accordance with the rules unless there are office-bearers and a general committee of the club and an auditor of the club's affairs. And whereas it is desired to revive the club and to ensure that its affairs and assets are administered in accordance with the rules. s 1 Queensland Police Welfare Club Act 1970s 3 s 1 Queensland Police Welfare Club Act 1970s 3 ÷Short title 1.
