ESG announce Trust election result

Tony Taylor, Chair of the Election Supervision Group which has independently overseen all stages of the election of members to the Board of Seadog Trust, has announced the result.

Tony states:

I am pleased to advise you of the results of the election to the board of the Seadog Trust which the ESG has supervised in line with your Elections Rules.

As you know, we agreed to extend the voting deadline to the 30th November 2007 in order to ensure all members had the opportunity to participate in voting for the new board as we were aware of some possible postal delays.

There were 11 candidates standing for 10 available places on the board and we received a total of 318 ballot papers.  The numbers on three ballot papers were duplicated and therefore I chose to treat all six as invalid.

The votes cast were as follows:

Richard Adamson - 276

Anthony Brown - 205

John Clarke - 231

Simon Cope - 289

Ben Courtney - 298

Wendy Danby - 277

David Holland - 187

James Hunter - 234

Chris Rooke - 257

Andrew Troughton - 268

Sandra Troughton - 265

I therefore confirm that Richard Adamson, Anthony Brown, John Clarke, Simon Cope, Ben Courtney, Wendy Danby, James Hunter, Chris Rooke, Andrew Troughton and Sandra Troughton have been duly elected to serve on the board of Seadog Trust.

I will be forwarding signed confirmation of these results to you [Ben Courtney, Secretary, Seadog Trust] in due course for your records.

May I wish the new board every success for the future and if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
