General Council Ballot Results

The result of the General Council Ballot has been received from the Official Scrutineer.
Congratulations to the successful candidates and commiserations to those who were unsuccessful.
I thank the 552 members who took the time and trouble to vote. 50% of those standing for the first time have been successful and I welcome them to the General Council to serve the membership.
While the vote was extremely tight I thank every candidate for standing and would like to place on record my sincere thanks, on behalf of the Society, to Terry Jukes for his service on Council over the past 9 years.
