Under the new Act only the name and purposes can be included in the constitution. Additional clauses including the winding up and dissolution clauses should be added to the bylaws in a separate section at the end, such as "Other Provisions", "Former Constitutional Provisions", etc. If the clause was unalterable then it should be added to the bylaws with the wording “previously unalterable” as no clauses in the bylaws can be made unalterable.
