Notice is hereby given in accordance with Article 10 of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Supplemental Charter 2004 that under powers given to the Society in Articles 9(2) and 12 of the Charter the Council of the Society has made a regulation as hereunder:
Section 10: Special Resolutions
1. Where the Council passes or proposes to pass a resolution of the Council
on a matter specified by the Charter as requiring to be subject to a Special
Resolution, the Council shall determine in relation to such resolution of
the Council that it shall be confirmed:
(1) by a two-thirds majority vote on a show of hands (or in a poll,
conducted by secret ballot) of the members present at a general meeting
of the Society; or
(2) by a two-thirds majority vote of the members present at a general meeting,
including the votes cast by the chairman of the meeting on behalf of absent
members for whom he holds proxies indicating how the proxy-giver wishes to
vote on the resolution; or

a postal ballot, or by a combination of both methods, as determined by the
Council.

Note 1: These proposals are intended to take effect after the expiry
of 60 days from the date of this notice, subject to such amendments as
the Lords of the Privy Council may require.
Note 2: Previously the Society’s Byelaws have been made under powers
provided either by the Charter or by legislation. Under the Society’s
new governing documents, the terminology is different. The Council makes Regulations
under the new Charter and Rules under the Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians
Order 2007. In due time all the existing Byelaws will be superseded by Regulations
or Rules.
