The 2 elected Trustees who will stand down this time are Morag Wellman and Margaret Forrest. Both are eligible to stand again, and both have indicated that they are willing to do so. There are up to three vacancies for elected Trustees and members are encouraged to stand for these positions. The Board legally cannot operate with fewer than six Trustees. For an informal discussion about the role please contact me or any of the serving Trustees.
