Well done to the two people elected - but only 15 per cent of well society members voted.

Hi All. Just a wee quick note to thank everyone who took the time to vote for me. Was not to be this year and congrats to the 2 guys voted in. They will do a tremendous job. 
 

I’ll be back.

Aye, very low turnout - especially when you don't need to even leave the house to vote.

For all the members that complained about Tom Feely's approach to the takeover bid, he was only 15 votes away from re-election. That's how close a low turnout can make things.

From the update I just received the sum of the votes cast for each candidate totals a fair bit more than the 419 total votes cast? What am I missing here?

Each member could cast 1 or 2 votes.

Thanks. The 419 valid votes cast comment led me astray. 15% is a terrible turnout given that Membership details were recently updated. Disappointing.

Whilst it’s disappointing, the 15% turnout suggests that WS members care less for the mechanics of the society than they do for its ongoing existence and purpose of protecting the club from nefarious/decrepit individuals.

Certainly appears that way which is disappointing given the efforts the new Board have put in since Balmack was seen off. Maybe we need an annual farcical take over attempt to maintain interest.

I think that's true, but should have been more of an incentive to ensure Feely was not re-elected after trying to sell the WS down the river and eliminate that very protection.
