According to the rules of the Constitution, all Committee members (the trustees) must retire from office at the end of the Annual General Meeting, but they may be re-elected or re-appointed.
Any Friend who would like to stand for election should notify their interest to me before the AGM. Please send your details, which should include your contact address, telephone and email, together with a brief résumé, to me at the above address; alternatively, email me on secfriends@googlemail.com by not later than 31 May 2009.
I will also, on request, forward to you a copy of the Constitution, election procedures and details of the responsibilities of a trustee.
Please note that you must be a fully paid up Friend to stand for election to the Committee or to vote, and there are also personal conditions that you must meet according to the Charities Act 1972 – please check the Charities Commission website www.charities-commision.gov.uk. An SAE would be appreciated if applying by post.
If you would like to check your status, please contact our Membership Secretary, Mrs Anne Meddick, at the above address.
