Re: Chairman candidate hustings
Hmm, did everyone get a pre-paid envelope? I've just realised that I didn't. I've fished the CW outer envelope from the paper bin to make sure it wasn't in there.

Re: Chairman candidate hustings
Just looked in the pile where I put recent mail and found envelope amongst 9 other items that must have been in the same outer envelope, might remember to fill in membership card even though I don't expect I will be using it.

Re: Chairman candidate hustings
Thanks for the reminder Tina.
Do we need to submit questions in advance or can we just ask them on the night?

Re: Chairman candidate hustings
I believe its ask question's on the night. Make sure you ask about the forum future 7 why its not important to keep our very useful posts.Do we need to submit questions in advance or can we just ask them on the night?
Patrick I don't know, if you get your cactus world quick the voting closes 19th April or maybe you can fill it in & email to Simon snow.
I had to search to find the info & worried it was on the voting slip I had already sent back, there is also a mistake regarding the AGM as the secretary has stepped down but it gives her phone number as a contact for questions, guess they won't get many that way.
