In accordance with STA’s current Articles of Association, The President must be elected every year, David Matthew is putting himself up for re-election.

One third of the Directors must retire from office at each AGM, as all Directors have been in post for the same time, it has been decided that those to retire at this AGM will be selected by rotation. The Directors are the Director of National Squad, Dave Bartlett and the Director of Development, Sara Ebbett. Both have opted to put themselves forward for re-election.

The positions of Secretary and Treasurer must be elected every year. Both Ailsa Falconer and Hugh McMichael Senior respectively have opted to put themselves forward for re-election. However Ailsa Falconer would be happy to step aside if other nominations were forth coming.
