5 Chairman to call meeting for purpose of confirming or rejecting change in rules

After any change in the rules has been carried at any meeting of the club duly called for that purpose, the chairman shall call another meeting of the club in the same manner as is provided in the rules of the club for the time being for the calling of special general meetings. Any such meeting shall be held not more than five weeks and not less than three weeks after the meeting at which the change in the rules shall have been carried, and shall be for the purpose of confirming or rejecting such change. At any such meeting the new rules, and the repeals and amendments of the existing rules which may have been carried at the former meeting, shall be put separately to the meeting, and shall thereupon be each confirmed or rejected, but no amendment shall be allowed, and such of the new rules, repeals, or amendments as are duly confirmed by a majority of the meeting shall thereupon, so far as they are not inconsistent with this Act, be binding on all the members. Provided that any member disapproving of any change in the rules of the club may within one calendar month of such confirmation resign his membership, and shall thereupon be relieved from all liabilities which may by such new rules, alterations, or amendments be imposed upon the members.
