Dear Fellow Member,
I've been asked to do the honours as RO ... for reasons unknown I've agreed, and as I've never done this before this may be amusing for all concerned. Anyway...

We will be using an internal "survey" to carry out the vote again this year (it worked fine last year so no need to incur additional expense). The thread will be placed in the Club Lounge and the link also posted here. A final email reminder will also be sent.
Voting will also be allowed by PM to the Returning Officer (mon the fish)

Should you have any queries, please send a PM to the Returning officer or the Committee.
