If anyone would like to be nominated for any of these posts, please let us know. Our constitution states that “Not later than two weeks before the AGM of Halesworth in Bloom, any member can put forward a candidate for any of the officerships, not including her/himself, and with a seconder. If there are two or more candidates for a post, a ballot by email will determine the outcome. Members without access to email can express their choices by any other means to the secretary [via the HIB folder in the Library]. The secretary will convey the results of any ballots to members by e-mail, personal contact or telephone, as appropriate. The current post-holder will retain the post if there are no candidates proposed for it.”
