Management committee election process
Any financial member may nominate him or herself to serve in a position that is subject to election on the management committee. If, at the start of the AGM, there are not enough candidates nominated or there is only 1 written nomination for a position, nominations may be taken from the floor of the AGM. Each such nominee must be a financial member and must, if not self-nominated, consent to the nomination for that nominee to become a candidate.
Written nominations may be submitted by email. Nominations must be signed by the candidate and be provided to the club secretary at least 7 days prior to the AGM.
Management committee positions
Nominations are called for the following management committee positions:
Core positions (4 year maximum term)
Committee member positions
Please contact the club secretary if you would like further information on any of these roles.
Life membership
Any ordinary member(s) can nominate another member for life membership (see clause 6.4 of the club constitution). Criteria to be addressed in the nomination are length of membership, contribution to club/area management, contribution to club events, and participation in club events.

Nominations must be endorsed by the proposed member’s area by ordinary resolution at an area meeting*, and must be submitted to the club secretary by 20 April 2026.
* While the club constitution stipulates that the area endorsement is to be obtained at an annual area meeting, due to the late date of the AGM this year, the management committee has decided that the area endorsement can be obtained at a normal area meeting.
The management committee will assess life membership applications against the criteria prior to them being put to the vote at the AGM and may reject any nomination in its absolute discretion.
Club Champion
The 2026 Club Champion award will be presented at the AGM. This award is intended to go to a club member who has excelled in his or her
contribution to the club during the year prior to the AGM. Areas are asked to submit nominations for club champion to the club secretary, along
with supporting reasons for that nomination, by 20 April 2026.
Quill award
The 2026 Quill Award will be presented by the journal editors to a club member who has made outstanding contribution to the journal during the
