RICHMOND will seek to remove a clause in its constitution that allows 100 members to call an extraordinary general meeting 12 months after staring down an unsuccessful board challenge.

Members last year voted to maintain their right to call an EGM with only 100 signatures, rejecting a proposed change to increase that number to five per cent of voting members.

The Tigers will put the proposal to members again at the annual general meeting on December 11, which promises to be a more festive event following a remarkable premiership season.

In a letter to members, the board argued 100 signatures was too low a threshold and calling an EGM was an expensive exercise.

"The removal of the 100 member rule does not diminish the existing right of 100 members to raise concerns about the club by requesting that a resolution be placed on the agenda for the club's annual general meeting," the club wrote.

"Five per cent of members will more properly represent a fair cross section of the club's membership and be indicative of the wish of members to have club funds spent in holding and conducting such a meeting.

"As its name suggests, an 'extraordinary' general meeting should be held only when a matter is so 'extraordinary' that it cannot wait until the annual general meeting."

Under the proposed change, more than 3,700 eligible members would have been required to force an EGM, with the Tigers' membership now at a record 75,777.

The board will also propose that all premiership players – regardless of games played with the club – be made life members.
