OMRS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING CANCELLED

■ The Society’s AGM, scheduled to take place at The National Archives (TNA) on Saturday 3 October, has regrettably been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

■ Andrew Mann, Paul Murphy and Jon Toohey are to join the Executive Committee. As nominations did not exceed Committee vacancies there will be no need for an online election.

■ The annual accounts of the OMRS, normally subject to an AGM vote, will be published in the December Journal.

■ The AGM would normally vote on the re-appointment of auditors. The Committee has decided to re-appoint the same auditors the Society has used for many years.

■ Air Commodore Graham Pitchfork and Jim Lees have agreed to fill the two vacancies for Trustees of the Society alongside Norman Gooding and David Rucker.
