Election of the three CUK specified roles of Chair, Treasurer and Hon Sec.

This post responds to the following motion agreed at the 2023-24 AGM.

" 7.4) Motion to revise the process for electing Chair, Treasurer and Hon Sec at the AGM

Regarding the current process for the formal election of the CUK specified roles of Chair, Treasurer and Hon Sec at the AGM, at present any club member can seek nomination and seconding at the AGM without any advanced notice to other members. It is hereby proposed that in future, these roles should be advertised in advance of the AGM (including where existing officers are prepared to stand for re-election) with a suitable deadline for applications before the AGM.

Any new applicant will be required to be nominated and seconded by two unrelated (to the applicant or each other) club members. Existing officers advertised to be standing for re-election will be deemed to be nominated and seconded if there are no further applicants for that role by the deadline, but must still be subject to a re-election vote at the AGM.

This change in process will ensure all Members have a more inclusive opportunity to apply for or influence the Committee composition. This process was followed this year (2024) in relation to the appointment of the new Chair.

Proposed: Dave Cullen

Seconded: Pam Jones

Approved unanimously."

Therefore, on behalf of your committee, we confirm that all the current holders of the three CUK specified roles of Chair, Treasurer and Hon Sec have agreed to stand for re-election at the 2024-25 AGM. However, applications are hereby formally invited from any other Members wishing to stand for any of those roles. 

Please apply in writing including the names of your proposer and seconder to the club chair, Sue Foster. The deadline for applications is 18: 00 on Wednesday 16 April 2025.
