Nominations for the vacant positions on the Executive Board closed today and, unlike in some previous years, there will be elections for all positions vacant. A list of nominations is shown here, copies of the individual addresses will shortly be posted to the member's section of the BTA website.

• Chair - Peter Coulson; Derek Biggs; Ron Thorne
• Vice Chair - David Bellingham; Helen Cawthorne
• Treasurer - Peter Beech-Allen; Nicola Lewington-Moore
• Executive Officers (4) - Peter Beech-Allen: David Bellingham; Bethan Davies; Jasmine Flatters; Clive Faine; Paul Groves; David Handley; John Nuttall; Tom Roberts

In the interests of partiality it's only fair to point out that I've seconded for Jasmine Flatters and would have gladly done so for both Ron Thorne and Paul Groves if so asked.
