The first step to be undertaken will be acceptance of any/all Candidates. With this in mind - this present Notice is intended to re-focus the minds of the ACWGC Membership on this important Subject.

It is also intended - to give formal notice to any Member, who intends to put their name forward for election, that their successful application will require a Proposer and a Second, to accompany their application.

3.3.4.2 Campaigning Once the candidates are determined, each will be encouraged to post one campaign message thread at the Smoking Room for any information he would like to share.
