You need to know how the trust board meetings work. The first meeting is organised by the chairman of the committee of trustees mentioned in the Preamble. The trust board decides when and where to hold their meetings. The chairman or any three members can call a meeting at any time. You should understand that four members are needed to be present at a meeting for it to be valid. If the chairman is not there, the members choose one of themselves to be in charge of the meeting. The person in charge gets to vote and can make the final decision if there is a tie. The trust board makes decisions based on the majority of votes. They can also decide how they want to run their meetings, as long as they follow the rules in this section.
