Governors may from time to time determine, but without such 

 persons becoming Members of the Association. They will be 

 called Associates, but will have no votes or voting power, 

 this provision being made in order to avoid their having any 

 liability whatever in event of the Association being wound up. 



The rules governing the election of Associates are the same 

 as those governing the election of Members, and they are 

 required to make an annual contribution of 5s. each to the 

 funds of the Association, but their privileges will cease if such 

 contribution is withheld for twelve months. 



It is arranged that the business of the Association will be

 must be " Members ". of the Association. The first Governors 

 are the members of the original provisional Committee, and 

 they will hold office till the Annual Ordinary Meeting to

 nominate Governors on similar terms. 



(c) Any other Corporation or individual may be permitted

(d) The Board of Agriculture shall nominate three

(e) The Members may elect three Governors from persons 



interested in the fruit-growing or cider industry.
