A general meeting of members of The Stove Network was held on Tuesday 12th November 2024 to discuss the motion to adopt new Articles of Association for the company. Seven members attended with a further 18 giving their apologies and appointing the Chair of the company as their proxy to vote on their behalf.
The meeting became a very engaged and positive discussion of the history and reputation of The Stove as an organisation for the community of Dumfries and Galloway which had always sought to act transparently and inclusively and that the new Articles of Association were very much in keeping with this tradition and appropriate to the evolving practice of The Stove. Suggestions were made about new policies supporting the rights of children in line with United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as adopted by Scottish Govt and adding game design to the list of creative activities promoted by The Stove.
The meeting voted on the motion:
“That the Articles of Association in the form annexed and initialled by a director of the Company for the purposes of identification be adopted as the Articles of Association of the Company in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Articles of Association of the Company.”
The motion was carried unanimously by the seven members in attendance and the eighteen members voting by proxy.
The new Articles of Association for The Stove Network have been ratified by the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator and will be uploaded at Companies House where they are publicly available to view. Anyone wishing a copy can write to [email protected]
