Looks like we goofed again. At the last committee meeting (April 6)
which was postponed because of some committments by members, it was resolved
to post the nomination forms out immediately. I informed the returning
officer, and he got started on it. What went wrong after that I don't know,
having been OS for the last 2 weeks.

In any case, this won't be the first time that the election has been held
late (perhaps we should ammend the constitution to allow more time). A
reasonable period will be allowed for people to return their nomination
forms after the posting date (whenever that is). The election will be
held as soon as is practical after that.

>Are any of the current committee proposing to stand again?

Well, it seems that President Pat Duffy and ex-Treasurer Michael
Tuke and Andrew Gollan are planning to step aside. Treasurer Frank
Crawford, Secretary Rolf Jester and Glenn Huxtable have confirmed
their intention to re-nominate (I think), and as for the others
I have no indication. I guess I am also planning to re-stand.

I'm hassling the returning officer now.
