AND WHEREAS the Association has by its humble petition represented unto Us that it is expedient that

the Original Charter should be amended and that this can best be effected by grant of a Supplemental

Charter replacing the Original Charter and has prayed for the grant of a Supplemental Charter

accordingly;

NOW THEREFORE KNOW YE that We, having taken the said Petition into Our Royal Consideration and

being minded to accede thereto, have of Our especial grace, certain knowledge and mere motion been

pleased to will and ordain and do by these Presents for Us, Our Heirs and Successors will and ordain that,

except in so far as they incorporate the Association as a body corporate with power to sue and be sued,

and to hold a Common Seal, the provisions of the Original Charter are hereby revoked, provided that

nothing in this revocation shall affect the validity or legality of any act or deed done under the Original

Charter.
