body: I'm working on a NFP organisation constitution with a group of fellow members - we're very small. 
  
  
  There is a line "Save as provided in this Constitution...". And I'm thinking that whoever wrote that must have had 10 coffees or something, because it's woefully pretentious. 
  
  
  Any suggestions for simpler opening? Perhaps there is a legal reason for such language and it should stay?
