Constitutional Laws
In the event of dissolution, the funds remaining shall be devoted to objects
similar to those of the Association.
7.2 There shall be not more than four Trustees of the ASA. The freehold and
leasehold premises of the ASA shall be vested in them to be dealt with by them
as the Council shall from time to time direct by resolution (of which an entry in
the Minutes shall be conclusive evidence). Any such premises shall be held on
trust for the ASA beneficially. The Trustees shall be indemnified against risk and
expense out of the property of the ASA. The Trustees shall hold office until death
or resignation, or until removed from office by a resolution of the Council who
may for any reason which may seem sufficient to a majority of them present and
voting at any meeting remove any Trustee or Trustees from the office of Trustee.
Where by reason of any such death or resignation or removal it shall appear
necessary to the Council that a new Trustee or Trustees shall be appointed or if
the Council shall deem it expedient to appoint an additional Trustee or
additional Trustees, the Council shall by resolution nominate the person or
persons to be appointed the new Trustee or Trustees. For the purpose of giving
effect to such nomination the President is hereby nominated as the person to
appoint new Trustees of the ASA within the meaning of Section 36 of the Trustee
Act 1925 and he shall by deed duly appoint the person or persons so nominated
by the Council as the new Trustee or Trustees of the ASA and the provisions of
the Trustee Act 1925 shall apply to any such appointments. Any statement of
fact in any such Deed of Appointment shall in favour of a person dealing bona
fide and for value with the ASA or the Council be conclusive evidence of the facts
so stated.
7.3 The Council may on behalf of the ASA mortgage or charge the whole or any
part of the funds or other property of the ASA to secure any monies for the time
being owing by the ASA or as security for any liability both present and future
contingent or otherwise howsoever undertaken by any Trustee or other Officer
on behalf of the ASA and so that such funds or other property of the ASA may
be transferred into the names of the Trustees for the purpose of creating such
mortgage or charge.

number of members having paid an ASA membership fee through a club or
