sch.6-sec.26 Quorum at general meetings
An item of business cannot be transacted at a general meeting unless a quorum of members is present when the meeting is considering the item. Unless these rules state otherwise, members present in person, each being entitled to exercise a vote, constitute a quorum. If a quorum is not present within half an hour after the appointed time for a meeting, the meeting, if called on the requisition of members, must be dissolved. In any other case it must be adjourned to the same day, time and place in the next week. If a quorum is not present within half an hour after the time appointed for an adjourned meeting, the members present constitute a quorum.
