To elect a Chairman in accordance with Standing Order 29.

The Committee proceeded to elect a Chairman in accordance with Standing Order 29.  Two Members had expressed a willingness to serve and statements in support of their nominations had been circulated to Members prior to the meeting.

There was therefore a Ballot and the result was:

• Andrew McMurtrie - 2
• Gregory Jones  - 2

As the Chairman did not wish to exercise a casting vote, the result was decided by drawing lots and Mr Andrew McMurtrie was declared Chairman for the ensuing year.
