The General Council meets about every two months. At the AGM existing council members stand down, and if there are more than nine candidates for election, a secret ballot is held at the meeting and the results declared at the meeting.

Both the honorary treasurer and auditor (the latter is not a member of the general council) are elected at the AGM. Other officers are appointed by the members of the general council at its first meeting following the AGM.

Please send details of any issues you would like discussed at the AGM to Adam Hogg (chairbarbassociation@gmail.com).

Written nominations for the elected positions must be submitted (form enclosed) to Ted Reilly Deputy Chair no later than Tuesday 25 April 2023 via email tedbarbican@gmail.com

Candidates must be proposed and seconded, and the candidate must indicate that he or she is willing to stand.

BA Hustings

The candidates for the Ward elections have now been confirmed:

Aldersgate:

Randall Anderson, Helen Fentimen, Stephen Goodman, Jeremy Mayhew, Deborah Oliver, Adam Richardson, Anett Rideg and Naresh Sonpar.

Cripplegate:

Mark Bostock, Anne Corbett, Frances Leach, Elizabeth King, Natasha Lloyd-Owen, Shazaah Masood, Susan Pearson, Paul Singh, Simon Walsh and Ceri Wilkins.

The Barbican Association has arranged hustings for each Ward at St Giles Church.  All candidates will be invited to speak – about themselves and why they are standing – for three minutes each. 

Voters in each Ward will be able to ask their candidates questions. However, in view of the number of candidates and the time their speeches will take up, only written questions will be taken, unless the Chair considers there is sufficient time to take additional questions from the floor.

Voters are asked to  submit their questions to the BA’s Hon Secretary by email to fredrodgers@me.com by 5.00pm on the day of the relevant hustings:

For Cripplegate at 7.00pm on Monday, 7th March; and

For Aldersgate at 7.00pm on Tuesday, 8th March.
