1. Quorum Present.
It is noted that a quorum is present. Minutes taken by Ben Holmes.

2. Nominations for Executive Committee.

2.1 Reason for renomination.
Ben states that the current executive committee is unable to continue to give the organisation the attention and effort it deserves due to various personal reasons (new career, changed living arrangements, changed churches etc). Also due to the necessary relocation of the LCHOC office the current executive committee faces further difficulties in providing a good service. Without a strong and energised Executive committee the organisation itself runs a very high risk of becoming “stale” and a change is urgently required. Nominations have been provided to the current executive committee. Ben notes that the nominees seem excited, willing and able to put in the time and effort to make a real difference and they possess the experience necessary to help fulfil the goals of LCHOC. Motion to accept this reason moved by Ben Holmes, Seconded by Mal. Holmes and carried.

2.2 Reading of current nominations.
The following nominations were received prior to the meeting.
President: Peter Holmes
Secretary: Kimberly Caswell
Vice President: Sue Holmes
Treasurer: Sue Holmes

2.1 Call for any additional nominations.
No additional nominations noted from the floor. Motion moved by Mal. Holmes to use the nominations list as previously noted. Seconded by Kimberly Caswell, Carried.

3. Voting for Executive Committee.

3.1 Motion to take a combined vote as formal.

Motion moved by Tia Holmes to have one vote by show of hands and to take the vote as formal should it be unanimous. If it is not entirely unanimous a secret ballot will be adhered to. Moved Tia. Holmes, Seconded Ben Holmes, Carried.

3.2 Result of vote.
