A notice of an extraordinary meeting or in fact an ordinary AGM should be accompanied by the proposals to be discussed at the meeting, to allow those attending to have considered them properly rather than be surprised.
Certainly you should have details where the articles of association are to be changed because this may change the entire way in which the club is managed. Indeed, if the articles are changed in any significant way, on areas where the members could have voted, and the members have not been given sufficient notice, there might be grounds for a subsequent challenge to the changes.
Having said that, it is normally very difficult to get any coherent interest in an AGM. Lots of people are very vocal in their suggestions about how things are run / should be run, but ask them to put those suggestions into resolutions and the silence is deafening.
Getting support for a resolution is even more difficult, which is why one finds that champions of a particular viewpoint, who actually attend AGMs etc so often get their way, the rest aren't bothered until they find they don't like the results.
