Lerwick Up Helly Aa

[EM]

Does anyone know who is up for election?

I don't know, but I heard that the following are the six: Chris Sim, Martin Henderson, Calum Grains, Ryan Wright, Richard Moar and Lynden Nicolson.

Sounds interesting. I did hear the name Lynden banted around right enough, so that is feasible.

The normal replacement, Dhanni Moars replacement, and Andy Angus has emigrated to Australia I believe.

[Infiltrator]

Thanks.

 

Bit drastic emigrating to OZ to get off the committee

[Jeemsie1989]

There was this year standard election, one member left the committee and Danni Moar was kicked off the committee.
