While the Trustees are trying to keep the AGM in August, there is a legal requirement that it take place by 19-Sep-2013, and that means having the election done no later than that date. This should be kept in mind when executing both elections. It isn't as much of an issue if the voting system can handle two open elections at the same time. Rich
