Seven valid nominations for the five vacancies on the Trust Board had been received by the closing date. As a result a ballot of current Adult and Senior Standard Members will now take place. A Standard Member is a member who has paid a membership fee for the 2015/16 Season.

Ballot papers are being posted to UK addresses over the next couple of days. Members may vote for up to five candidates on the ballot paper which should be returned, in the envelope provided to be received in the Trust Registered Office no later than Friday 29 July 2016.

You can read the candidate statements of the seven valid nominations on this website to help you decide which five candidates you wish to vote for.

We will be contacting overseas members separately.

Enquiries about the ballot should be directed to 2016election@swanstrust.co.uk
