To elect a Deputy Chairman in accordance in Standing Order 30.

The Committee proceeded to elect a Deputy Chairman in accordance with Standing Order No. 30. A list of Members eligible to stand was read, and Dr Martin Dudley and Mr Henry Colthurst declared their willingness to serve, if elected.

A ballot having been taken, votes were cast as follows:-

Dr Martin Dudley                           6 votes

Mr Henry Colthurst                        6 votes

As both Members received an equal number of votes under Standing Order 29(c) the Chairman, with the consent of the candidates and the Board, took the decision by lot. Mr Henry Colthurst was picked from the two candidates and therefore duly elected Deputy Chairman.

RESOLVED - That Mr Henry Colthurst be duly elected as Deputy Chairman for the ensuing year.
