John Matthews, John Morgan, Clive Shakesheff, Robert Spalding,

1)       Minutes of the 2011 A.G.M. were read and accepted
2)       Matters arising: there were none
Section A:
3)       S. O.C. report accepted by conference
4)       Officer reports
a)    These were presented to the meeting by the officers concerned. Reports were accepted with questions from the floor but there were no challenges to the actual reports.
b)    The E.R.O. was asked to deliberate on query raised by Anne Greagsby regarding rule 6viii, the relevant part of which states: no member may be elected to the same position sit on the same body for more that five terms consecutively. This ruling rule shall be strictly applied to Wales Green Party posts.
E.R.O’s Decision: due to the limited records available to me I can only apply rule 6viii on the evidence of these records. This means I am taking the years of service for officers of Wales Green Party Council to be starting from 2009 onwards.
Therefore all nominations received by me for these elections shall stand with the exception of the nomination for campaigns coordinator, as the nominated person Anne Greagsby is disqualified from standing as her party membership is at this time in suspension.
John Evans, Wales Green Party Electoral Returning Officer
A brief Campaigns report was received verbally from MW as it had not been submitted in time for the Final Agenda.
