Postal Ballot

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the BAA held at 2p.m. on 20th November 1987 at the Royal Over-Seas League, Park Place, London, a resolution was passed, nem con, which amended the BAA's constitution to require the Committee to be elected by postal ballot. The new procedure will be used to elect the 1988/89 committee who will be holding office from 1 May 1988 to 30 April 1989.

The nominating committee will have produced a slate of candidates by the time this edition of VECTOR is published. Ballot papers will be issued on 1 March, with a photo and a statement from each candidate, and the result of the ballot will be announced at the AGM on 29th April. If you wish to nominate a candidate please arrange for the following information to be in Graham Parkhouse's hands on or before 12th February 1988.

  1. Name, address and telephone number of nominee, and the office for which he/she is standing, with a signed statement of willingness to stand, and if elected, to execute the office diligently. The nominee must be a member of the BAA, and a nominee for Chairman must be a member of the BCS.
  2. A proposer and a seconder, who must both be BAA members, should submit their nominations in writing, identifying themselves clearly.
