60Serving notice of annual general meeting

60 Serving notice of annual general meeting The executive committee of a registered small club may serve notice of the annual general meeting of the club on members by pinning the notice to a noticeboard in the club house. This Act, s 247, a non-determinative provision, allows a document to be served on an individual under an Act in a number of ways (by giving the document to the individual, by sending it by prepaid post etc), but does not mention pinning the document to a noticeboard as a method of giving the notice. Section 247 is not displaced by the Small Clubs Act 2002, s 60, because— • s 60 does not expressly displace section 247 nor does it indicate a contrary intention (see s 6 (1) and (3)) and, in particular, s 60 does not indicate an intention that the method of service it authorises is to be the only method of serving notice of annual general meetings on members of small clubs; and • the application of s 247 is not displaced by any presumption or rule of interpretation (see s 6 (5)); and • s 60 and s 247 can operate concurrently (see s 6 (6)) by allowing complementary methods of service; and • the fact that s 60 and s 247 deal with the same (or a similar) subject matter does not of itself displace s 247 (see s 6 (7) and also s 6 (5)). It follows, therefore, that the executive committee is free to serve notice of the annual general meeting under s 60 or s 247.
