1. Apologies for Absence

Adam & Carol Bull, Steve Jones-Blackett, Claire Johnson, Simon Conyers.

2. Vote to Appoint Trustees of FGVW

There was a vote to accept/not accept applications from David Miles, Simon Conyers, Hazel Gregory and David Lumb.

Firstly, the Chair ruled that the meeting was not quorate. However, as the only item on the agenda was the vote and all members had been given the opportunity to vote already, the meeting could proceed.

Teresa Williams and Adrian Coltman explained the secret ballot process. There were 11 sealed votes already received. The 6 attendees then voted and Teresa and Adrian counted the vote.

After a recount, the results were confirmed as:

  • Simon Conyers: 17 for and none against
  • Hazel Gregory: 17 for and none against
  • David Lumb: 9 for, 6 against, 1 abstention and 1 spoilt
  • David Miles: 8 for, 8 against, 1 abstention.
As per the constitution, the chair then used the casting vote for David Miles.

Thus all 4 candidates were elected to serve as trustees.

As per the constitution, the new Chair and Treasurer will serve until the 2026 AGM, when both retire, and will then be eligible for reappointment.

The non-office holder trustees take yearly turns to follow the same process.

Trustees Martin Calvert, Adrian Coltman, Steve Jones-Blackett and Naoimi Watts-Kitto will all resign as soon as a handover meeting takes place but certainly by 31st December 2025.

There was no other business.
