1. If NOT, will the Society be able to increase this fund to buy a building for the members needs and use
2. IF (2) is not possible then:
   1. (a) All of the restricted fund should be transferred to the General Fund to be spent at the discretion of the     Trustees in the furtherance of some particular aspect of the objects of the Charity.
      Or
   2. (b) A portion of the restricted fund should be transferred to the General Fund to be spent at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of some particular aspect of the objects of the Charity.
