The Association shall be called the Adhesive Tape Manufacturers' Association, and is herein after referred to as the "Association"

e) To take any and all other steps to further the trade interests of the Members.

 3.     Membership

     tapes, the major portion of whose sales of Adhesive tapes shall be coated by them in their own factory or
     factories in Great Britain and/or Ireland.
b) Associate Members shall be Manufacturers and coaters of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes in EEC and/or
     EFTA countries, with wholly owned sales and distribution organisations in the United Kingdom and/or

    All Members shall hold the standards ISO 9000 series/BS5750.

 4.    Application for Membership

A new Full or Associate Member of the Association may be admitted by a majority of two-thirds of the Full
Members of the Association present or voting by a post at a Meeting of the Association, of which fourteen clear days notice shall have been given. A new Full or Associate Member shall subscribe to and be furnished with a copy of these rules.


 5.    Retirement

A full or Associate Member may withdraw from the Association upon sending one calendar month's notice, in writing, by recorded delivery, to the Secretary of the Association, and whereupon his rights and privileges under these Rules shall terminate. A Full or Associate Member may only retire from the Association at the end of the Association's financial year and the written notice should, therefore, reach the Secretaries by 31st August at the latest.

 6.    Meetings

An Annual Meeting of the Members of the Association for the election of Officers shall normally be held prior to 30th June in each year, and other Meetings shall be called as occasion arises by the Chairman or Secretary, upon fourteen days notice. The Meeting place shall be decided by the Secretary, having regard to the convenience of the majority of the Members.

 7.     Officers
     
The Members, in Annual Meeting, shall elect from among the Full Members, upon such conditions as they think fit, a Chairman and Vice Chairman to hold office for one year and to be eligible for re-election. The Members shall also appoint a Secretary, who need not be a Member of the Association and who shall act as Treasurer, and shall define his duties and fix his remuneration.

 8.     Committee

The members may appoint such Sub-Committees and Technical Advisors as may be thought desirable to further the Objects of the Association.

 9.     Voting

All decisions of the Association, other than decisions relating to the admissions of new Members, shall be by the vote of a simple majority of its full Members, voting personally at a Meeting of the Association duly summoned by the Secretary, at which a quorum of at least half the Full Members of the Association shall be present. Each full Member of the Association shall have one vote, and the Chairman of any Meeting shall have a second or casting vote.

10.    Decisions

Decisions reached in accordance with the preceding Rule shall be duly recorded in the Association's Minute Book and signed by the Chairman.

11.     Alterations

These Rules may only be altered by a personal or proxy vote with at least 80% majority of all Full Members, and can only be so altered at a special Meeting called for that purpose, of which fourteen days notice has been sent to all Members specifying the changes proposed.

12.     Finance

Members shall each contribute annually a sum to meet the estimated expenses of the Association for the following year, and the amount of such contribution shall be agreed at the September meeting of the Association. Any extraordinary expenditure must be authorised at a Meeting of the Association.
