Note.
These Bye-Laws
should be read in conjunction with the new Constitution which the Surrey
Group was obliged to produce following the conversion of the LDWA to
a Company Limited by Guarantee on 14 March l 999. The requirement that
the terms of our new constitution had to adhere to the wording of the
Model Constitution provided by the National Committee prevented it including
certain parts of the Surrey Group Constitution which was in force prior
to 14 March 1999. The relevant parts have been included in these Bye-Laws.
