Since 2010 the Society has had a constitution in which candidates for the board were able to stand in three categories: Show Participant, Venue and an Open category.
In the Show Participant category Suzanna Rosenthall was elected unopposed
In the Open category Julianne Reddin was elected over Aisha Josiah, Susan Morrison and Geoff Rowe.
In the Venue category Anthony Alderson and Harun Musho'd were elected (and Tara Stapleton was re-elected) over Charles Dundas, Philip Gerard and Sam Gough.
The elections were carried out using the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system of preferential voting and were managed on behalf of the Society by Civica Election Services.
Each of the newly elected Board Members will serve a four-year term.
