The 1994 election results were as follows:
|
President: Vice President: Treasurer: Secretary: |
Colin Lovitt Major Keary Peter Smith Bruce Elliot Gary Taig Don McKenzie |
465 votes 110 votes Elected unopposed Elected unopposed 461 votes 115 votes |
Committee, in order of votes received:
|
Dave Mitchell Stan Johnstone Trevor Jacobs Tessa Melland Keith Beresford Barry McMenomy Ash Nallawalla Ren Benko Alan Michelmore Felix Van Lier Bill Docherty Robert O'Connor Don McKenzie David Brownridge David Harding |
550 513 504 498 490 482 480 456 442 221 Withdrew from the election. |
The above numbers include postal votes and proxies. The total number of valid proxies that I received was almost 250. Of the 145 valid postal votes
received about a dozen members had also filled out the proxy form, which was printed
on the same page in the magazine. As Returning Officer I took these postal votes and destroyed the redundant proxies. A vote takes precedence over a proxy, as in the postal vote members are expressing their own opinions, and cannot
vote and have someone else vote for them.
I would like to thank Roy McLean for the assistance he provided with the
election and to thank on your behalf the volunteers who worked hard in issuing ballot papers
and then counting the results. They gave up hours of their time and missed out on the presentation in order to produce the verified results on the
night.
