Description

Council of Trustees papers concerning an EGM held on 3 Jul 1997 to consider three resolutions to amend the memorandum of association and articles of association of the company. The three resolutions proposed relate to commercial sponsorship from infant formula manufacturers (resolution 1), membership subscriptions (resolution 2), and procedures for the calling of future EGMs (resolution 3). The EGM Information Trust was established by requisitioners of the EGM to disseminate information about their concerns, with the stated aim of "allowing informed decisions to be made during the current crisis in the NCT over membership subscriptions and sponsorship". The Information Trust was a splinter group of the NCT, funded independently by donation from supporters.

Includes correspondence and papers relating to the EGM, including letters from NCT members proposing motions for the 1997 NCT AGM, and subsequent calls for an EGM to address these matters. Also includes solicitors' letters providing legal advice, file notes detailing actions and decisions taken with regard to holding an EGM, memoranda, and related papers. Includes minutes of EGM and subsequent media coverage.
