ANNUAL MEETINGS-. 
attending one Committee in six months, shall cease to be a member, 
and shall be ineligible for re-election for one year. 
Proposed amendments :— 
Lines 1 and 2 to read “ H.R.H. The Duke of Cambridge, Colonel-in - 
Chief of the Royal Artillery, to be Patron and President of the 
Institution.” 
Lines 3 and 4.-—Delete “ Director of Artillery, the Deputy-Adjutant- 
General, R.A.,” and insert “ The Director-General of Ordnance, and 
the President of the Ordnance Committee.” 
Line 7 after “ Assistant-Adjutant-General, R.A.” insert “ the Com¬ 
mandant, School of Gunnery, Shoeburyness, the Assistant Military 
Secretary, R.A., Army Head-quarters , the Colonel-on-the-Staff Com¬ 
manding Royal Artillery, Woolwich.” 
The Secretary : The amendments are for the most part necessitated 
by recent changes in the Army. If they are passed the result will be 
that the ex officio members of the Committee will be increased by three 
and the elected members decreased by one, making a nett increase in 
the whole Committee of two members. The decrease is due to the 
fact that Colonel Corbett, who is an elected member, would become an 
ex officio member by reason of his being the Colonel-on-the-Staff, 
Commanding Royal Artillery, Woolwich District. 
The amendments were agreed to. 
Proposed new paragraph :— 
“ No one other than a member of the Royal Artillery Institution is 
eligible to be a Vice-President or member of the Committee.” 
The Secretary : This new paragraph is to provide for the contin¬ 
gency of any of the holders of the appointments which make Vice- 
Presidents or Ex-officio Members of the Committee not belonging to 
the Royal Artillery, or, if they belong to the Royal Artillery, not being 
members of the Institution. 
The new paragraph was agreed to. 
Proprsed amendment:— 
Line 11.—Delete “regimental” before “duty” and insert after “duty” 
the words “ at Woolwich.” 
The Secretary : This is to make the rule about non-attendance at 
Committee Meetings applicable to all members of the Committee and 
not only to duty officers. 
Colonel Corbett : It only means they have to attend a meeting once 
in six months so it is not a very severe measure. 
The amendment was agreed to. 
Rule XVI. as it now stands :— 
A meeting of the Committee to take place once in every month, 
or on such other days as the Committee shall appoint ; three members 
to form a quorum. 
Proposed amendment:— 
After “quorum” insert “ of whom the Secretary or Assistant Secretary 
may be one.” 
The Secretary : This is to permit of the Secretary or Assistant-
