As soon as may be practicable after the first day of June in any year the Central Executive Committee shall hold a nomination meeting and shall at such meeting nominate not less than one candidate and not more than three candidates. Candidates shall at such meeting be proposed and seconded and such proposal shall not be valid unless the candidate’s written consent to stand for election is available. If more than three candidates are proposed and seconded, an eliminating vote shall be taken whereby the number of nominees of the Central Executive Committee shall be reduced to not more than three. If not more than three candidates are proposed and seconded, they shall be the nominees of the Central Executive Committee unless a motion be made and carried to eliminate any one or more of them.
      
   2. Between the first day of June in any year and the date which is four clear weeks after the nomination meeting of the Central Executive Committee, written nominations accompanied in each case by the nominee’s written consent to stand for election may be lodged with the Registrar, provided that each such nomination is supported in writing by not less than twelve Members of the College who are not members of the Central Executive Committee.
      
   3. An election by ballot shall be held in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations.
      
   
   
2. At each Annual General Meeting, after the business thereof has been completed or adjourned, and after the presentations and prizes have been awarded the President shall assume office.
   

The nominating meeting of the Central Executive Committee will be on 7 March 2007 and the last date for receiving nominations under Regulation XI (2) will be 6 April 2007.

Professor Sheila Hollins is in her second year of office as President and is therefore eligible for re-election.
