Election of Chairman and Committee

[Bill D (wwh)]

The annual GAGB elections for Committee members and for Chairman will be held in November.

The election for Chairman will begin at midnight on Sunday 4th November and end at midnight on Sunday 11th November.

The election for Committee members will begin at midnight on Tuesday 13th November and end at midnight on Tuesday 20th November.

Nominations are now open for the post of Chairman and for the posts of Committee members. Nominations will close at midnight exactly seven days before the start of the relevant election.

Nominations can be made in this thread, by sending them directly to me through my GAGB profile, or by emailing me at billd @ gagb.org.uk (without the spaces). Please remember to state whether your nomination is for Chairman or Committee member. You are entitled to nominate the same person for Chairman and for the Committee. Each nomination needs to be seconded.

Only full members of GAGB are eligible to vote.

You'll need to be a "Member", "Founding Member", or "Committee Member" to vote.

There is a page on GAGB's website where you can check for yourself, and if you're showing as a "Member (Lapsed)" or a "Member (non-voting)" you can make yourself a full voting member. You can also choose to make yourself a non-voting member or end your membership of GAGB on the page. The options you'll see on the page will vary depending on which category you're in.

The page is here (https://www.gagb.org.uk/forums/register.php).

Members joining after the time and date of this post are not entitled to vote under GAGB's constitution.

IMPORTANT: Voting will be by email to an independent non-UK returning officer (more details in a separate thread). You will need to vote using the email address you've registered with GAGB (for validation purposes). Please check that you have an up-to-date address registered, and if you haven't then amend it. You can do that on the same page where you can check your membership (link above).

If you want to discuss anything related to the nominations or elections please start a separate thread in this forum. This thread is for nominations and seconding only. Thanks.

Bill, Chairman GAGB

Same here :(

Hmm, it's working for me - I'll get our webmasters to look at it. In the meantime any non-voting or lapsed members can contact me and I'll correct things for them. You can see what sort of membership you have by looking below your name in your posts in the forums. You can check what your registered email address is by clicking on "My Controls" near the top right of forum pages.

The link is working fine for me too.

Thanks for that - it's evidently working for at least some ordinary members. As the page is dynamic, and different depending on your membership, I'd wondered if it might only have been working for some groups and not for others, e.g. working for committee members and not for anyone else or somesuch.

[Brenin Tegeingl]

I only get the error page if if I click on


I wish to be a full voting member of GAGB. link on the page. As I'm shown as being a Member I presume I'm a voting Member so this link would not be valid.

[Brenin Tegeingl]

As Bill asked for Nominations, I thought that I'd start the ball rolling so here are my nominations


Chairman
Bill Daly - Bill D (wwh)

Committee Members

Dave Edwards- The Wombles
Tony Pinnington - mongoose39uk
Matt Pringle - nobby.nobbs
Fiona Robertson - The Nutters

Well, what can I say but thanks to all of you for allowing me to be returned unopposed&#33; Hopefully that means I&#39;m doing something right, lol...&#33;

And many thanks to Erik for acting as Returning Officer again, even though so far we&#39;ve given him nothing to do but make a few posts&#33;

or that not of us are mad enough to get nominated :lol:
seriously, well done we all apprietiate all the hard work and time you put into this

[erik.admin]

It is with great sadness that I must report that there have been no new nominations for committee members for the GAGB and the old members must serve yet another term. So sorry. :P

Congratulations, folks, on your reelection. :applause: :socool:

~erik~

[Bill D (wwh)]

Erik, many thanks for once again acting as our Returning Officer, and I&#39;m sorry we must seem such a boring lot to you...&#33; I think you&#39;ve done this for us three times now and we haven&#39;t given you a single vote to count, just a few forum announcements to make&#33;

To the new (and old) committee, I&#39;m delighted to have you all back on board, and I&#39;ll look forward to serving another year with you&#33; Thank you all for staying&#33;
