  1.  

    (1)   A society may, by a resolution by not less than 3/4 of the members or delegates present and entitled to vote at any general meeting, of which notice specifying the intention to propose any such resolution has been duly given according to the rules, determine to become a branch of any other society, and also, if thought fit, of any branch thereof.

  1.  

    (2)   If the rules of the society do not comply with all the provisions of this Act in respect of the registration of branches, the meeting at which any such resolution is passed may amend the rules so as to bring the rules into compliance with this Act.

    (3)   A copy of the rules of the society marked to show the amendments, if any, made at the meeting, and 2 copies of the resolution and of such amendment of rules, if any, as aforesaid, each signed by the chairperson of the meeting and by the secretary of the society, so determining to become a branch of another society, and countersigned by the secretary of that other society, shall be sent to the Registrar.
