The Constitution of L&RAA and all amendments made up to and including 2010 is available on this link to the Constitution file. The AFM of 2013 approved some amendments and these will be included and updated here as soon as possible. There is also a Code of Conduct but currently this is not available in a version other than paper (unless you can scan a copy and send it to us).
