Nominations

Officers are elected annually so nominations will be invited for all these positions. One General Committee position is currently vacant, Keziah Deeks was appointed by the General Committee and will retire at the AGM, Bruce Anderson, Fiona Emms, Tony Evans and Ginny O’Dell have completed their two years as General Committee members and will retire at the AGM (all retiring members are eligible for re-election), nominations will therefore be invited for six General Committee members. Tony Higbee and Anthea Le Cornu have another year to serve as they were elected to the General Committee in 2024. Any member wishing to stand for any position should use the nomination form (click here). Nominations received to date are below (last updated 16th March 2025).
