At the special General Meeting of the Shareholders on Wednesday 4th June 2008  
The motion on Universal Membership and Pay-to-Play  was carried on a formal ballot by 52:31, i.e. 60% of those eligible to vote. The 39 Counties have between them 86 Shareholder votes, there having been 2 abstentions and 1 absentee who had not appointed a proxy.
HIWCBA placed its 3 votes against the motion as mandated by its Executive Committee, whose decision had been based on the views that had been gathered from the Clubs, the membership and the affected non-membership.
For your information only 3 Counties chose to "split" their votes, a possibility only available to 30 Counties. Of these, two were against the proposal and the other placed its votes equally for and against the motion. In terms of Counties only, 23 were in favour and 15 against, i.e. 58.9%.
Each County was offered a brief opportunity to speak. Nearly every County availed themselves of this and many spoke of the consultation that they had conducted with their clubs and its membership. Whether for or against the motion many mentioned their concern regarding dis-affiliation of clubs and the potential for loss of members at those clubs remaining affiliated, and therefore that it was imperative that attention of the EBU was given to the clubs, particularly the smaller clubs and those whose objective was primarily social. In addition, constructive comments were offered on the control of costs and on the tightening up on some loopholes
