Upcoming AGM - Elect Trustees who will push for the long term protection of the Parkland; Get/Give proxies for home owners who won't be at the AGM

I asked the HOA for a report on the current Trustee's terms of office:

Dear Ken

With reference to your e-mail dated 1 December 2014.

The following Trustees have resigned as from the date of the AGM:
Richard Wilkinson, Roel Goris and Mike Hennessy

The following Trustees have to stand down in terms of the rotation policy per the Constitution: 
Brian Sears, Hendri van der Merwe

Lester Day was co-opted as a Trustee during the year and has to stand down as a Trustee at the AGM. 

The following Trustees remain in office:
Suyenne Botha, Remia Eksteen, Noel Meier and Peter Hudson. 

I trust this answers your question.  Please feel free to contact me should you have any further queries.

Yours faithfully
Wiekie Smit

In summary, there are 10 Trustees of which
3 Trustees  will be resigning at the AGM; 
3 Trustees have to stand down;
4 Trustees remain in office. 

So according to this, 6 new Trustees are going to be elected at the AGM. Assuming the "co-opted" Trustee has to be replaced. I think that the 2 Trustee's who have to stand down, can offer themselves for re-election. 

Georgie Hudson (B7) has written that John Jacobs (H35, husband of Sustra), who was opposed to the cutting up of the Parkland may be willing to stand for election. 

Is there anyone else who will be willing to serve as a Trustee? We need to come up with a list of 6 preferred candidates that we will all vote for. 

Georgie also makes the good point that we need to get proxies from owners who will not be at the AGM. I have already got one from my neighbour. I should also be getting one other one. 

Let's all go on a proxy hunt! Ask your neighbours if they are going to the AGM and if not, ask for their proxy. Proxy forms were sent with the AGM material a few days ago. 

We can increase our clout by collecting as many proxies we can.
