If at such meeting it is considered that there is sufficient evidence to justify calling him, a notice in writing shall be given to such member calling him to attend the meeting for the purpose of answering such charges. Such notice shall not be less than seven (7) days. At such meeting the member concerned shall be informed of the charges made against him and shall after hearing such member the Committee may expel him or impose any other lesser penalty. In the event of him being expelled he shall cease to be a member of the Club. The member shall be informed of the findings of the Committee. If such a member refuses to attend the meeting in answer to the notice calling upon him to do so, the Committee may nevertheless proceed with the enquiry and decide in his absence.

To expel a member, the decision of the majority of the members of the Disciplinary Committee present by way of voting shall be sufficient.

The decision of the Disciplinary Committee to expel a member shall be subject to confirmation by the main Committee at its meeting, to confirm the expulsion the majority of the Committee Members present by voting shall be sufficient.

A person expelled under this Rule shall not thereafter be eligible as a candidate for membership of the Club.
