Maybe this should be stated explicitly somewhere, but most people consider the copy on the current IVDA website to be the official one. It is passed from one exec to the next, and recently it has been passed in an electronic form, so that there's not even the danger of things being mistyped (and I see that all the typos carry over as well :-)

I just discovered something interesting, looking through some old copies of the constitution (unfortunately, I never did photocopy the entire IVDA minutes book, so my collection is fairly limited...)

In 1996 the constitution read:
1.1.1 The aim of the Inter-Varsity Dance Association (IVDA) is to promote an annual ball incorporating an Inter-Varsity Dancing COmpetition.
1.1.2 All British University and College Ballroom Dancing Scoieties and Clibs are eligible [...]

The current constitution says
1.1.1 Thye aim of [...] is to promote ballroom dancing within universities and organise an annual ball [...]
1.1.2 All Societies and Clubs promoting dancing for University students in Britain [...]

The change happened around 1998, someone with old minutes can check, it would be interesting to see what discussion went on then.
