The social club I use had an AGM recently which developed into uproar when one officer objected to another having been elected. The meeting was adjorned for a few days to allow people to calm down and perhaps find a solution. Does anybody know does the original business and decisons made stand when the meeting recommences.

Your club rules will dictate what happens, if the election was done correctly with your club rules then that result stands.
If anyone wants to remove them now then they must get the signatures of at least 30 members and call a special meeting, at that meeting that matter only must be discussed, your rules will dictate what majority you need, usually 2/3 in favour or it is defeated.
If that happens then the person so elected will serve his term.
What club is it if you don't mind me asking (pm me if it's easier) club law is something am up to speed with

that would probably depend on the rules of the social club, however the meeting should have been minuted and any decisions made before the adjurnment should stand , but again the rules of the social club should clearly state what should happen if a meeting is adjurned.

If something is adjourned then it has not been concluded - typical in court cases - so in effect, the AGM has not completed yet and so any agreements carried thus far should NOT have come into effect.

Seems crazy that the "uproar" should have occured as club constitutions usally clarify the rules about who can and can't be a member, how officers are elected, what constitites a quoram, etc. and it is the secretary and chairman's duty to ensure these are strickly adhered to.

Poor leadership = sack the board.
