    AGM and Members' weekend 2008

    This year’s Annual General Meeting and members’ weekend was held in Liverpool, the 2008 European Capital of Culture.

    Elections for the seven available Council seats were conducted via a postal ballot of the Trust’s 3.5 million members. A total of 40,091 members cast votes for the 21 candidates - 28,205 of the votes were cast by post (70 per cent) and 11,886 (30 per cent) online.

    Following the vote, the candidates below have been elected to the Council:

    • John Farley, 26,010 votes
    • Simon Timms, 24,448
    • Sophie Scruton, 23,742
    • Ian Rowat, 22,329
    • Richard Haslam, 20,556
    • Michael St John Parker, 19,048
    • Colin George OBE, 17,697

    Two members’ resolutions, to bring an immediate halt plans to develop housing at the Erddig estate near Wrexham and ‘remove’ Trust staffed involved in the project, were rejected by 22,158 votes to 14,382 and 24,957 votes to 10,158 respectively.

    A third resolution to ensure that sustainability is central to all of the Trust’s decisions was approved by 37,719 votes to 1,267.

    The results of the AGM vote and members resolutions are now available.
