BN allows proxy votes to be taken to the AGM by another BN member (other than EC officers) who intend to be there in person and voting. If YOU want some-one reliable who will be attending the AGM at Northampton to take your vote, then any of the following BNchange people are willing to take your vote (should you be unable to attend).
The AGM notice received with your BN173 Magazine Autumn is the Proxy Paper. Please follow the BN instructions when completing that Proxy Paper – before 6 October 2007 – and make sure that you sign it!
You can choose:
Either
JOHN PAINE BN member 30003590
Flat 19, Charles Ponsonby House, Osberton Road, OXFORD OX2 7PQ
john-paine@talk21.com
_____________
Or
DUNCAN HEENAN BN member 30001020
Dolphins House, Boxers Lane, Niton, Isle of Wight PO38 2BH
duncanheenan@tiscali.co.uk
______________
Or
MIKE O’NEILL BN member 30004399
2 Chichester Way, Saunders Ness Road, LONDON E14 3EG

Remember that your chosen Proxy has to then forward your signed Proxy Vote paper to Northampton by the given date.
You can also give instructions on the separate Voting paper which BN sent you. This will give you a chance to indicate concerns at agenda proposals, including the Annual Report. In the recent past members at the AGM voted NOT to accept a badly drafted Annual Report. Alternatively, you can give your Proxy Vote holder discretion on how to use your vote.
Suntreckers organises very many proxy votes to take the BN AGM, and several Clubs send delegates carrying club member proxy votes. For independent individual BN members this is much harder to arrange. Our advice is that every vote counts – if it is there!
