Nomination forms for election to the 2026/2027 Committee were included with the July Newsletter or may be obtained from the Secretary if required. According to the Society Constitution nominations should be received seven days before the commencement of the A.G.M. If insufficient nominations are received before the commencement of the A.G.M. they can be accepted at the Meeting. Nomination forms may be sent to the Secretary electronically but given any possible computer/internet delays, members sending forms by e-mail should ask for a confirmation that they have been received.

Only financial and Honorary Life members of the Society are eligible for nomination or allowed to participate in any voting. Any members who feel able to serve on the Committee are urged to discuss this with any of the current Committee members and then to arrange for another member to propose them and provide the nomination form. A member can be nominated for but cannot hold more than one position. 

When the A.G.M. proceedings have been concluded the Mayne-Walkers Memorial Lecture will be given this year by Dr Peter Elliott.
