Our by-laws read ----...Secretary and each application is to be read at the

first meeting of the club following its receipt. At

the next club meeting the application will be voted

upon and affirmative votes of 2⁄3 of the members

present and voting by secret ballot at that meeting

shall be required to elect the applicant------

question,

afte presenting / reading applications is there a need for a motion to move for vote at next club meeting??

There should be a motion "To approve the application of _____ ."

The chair could assume the motion.

Looking at that statement by itself (certainly not the best way to interpret bylaws, but what the heck), I'd say a Point of Order could be raised if the chair didn't put the question to a vote, even in the face of (a) the assembly ordering him not to, or (b)lack of a motion. I'd even say a motion to adjourn would be out of order before such a vote had been taken, as the bylaws call for a vote, thereby creating an order of the day that the bylaws prevent skipping.
