I would go along with what you have said.
I would suggest the elector is not kept anonymous for obvious reasons you have mentioned.
Obviously people who vote at Glasgow should not vote by mail. Therefore anonymity cannot be maintained. However it beats the principle of an election.
I agree the training day in Chelsea seems quite dear. I don't see why deaneries can't fund these days. That's a different matter.

Dear All,
So far there have been almost no comments on the training day issue -
I am assuming this means people are fairly content and will go to
one or both happily...
As you know, at the last meeting it was decided to have elections
for the new trainee rep (to replace Liam) at the next training day.
The question that then arises is: which one?
The first thing to say is that it will not matter, as anyone not
attending the election will be able to vote.
*Should this be anonymous or are people happy for me to collate
votes knowing who voted for whom? Anonymity allows the possibility
of an unscrupulous voter to vote twice...*
I will not be at the London meeting: it is too expensive and I
cannot afford to go to all of them on my research salary (no study
leave, despite a concerted effort, and overdraft getting scary at
the moment thanks to recent death of faithful old car).
As such, I would propose having the election in Glasgow in May
(pencil in 4-5th May although I am awaiting confirmation of this).
This also gives any other potential candidates more time to nominate
themselves.
I will email/post the final list of candidates in April, allowing
those not going to Glasgow a chance to decide.
Note that all of the above is not intended to detract from the
Chelsea meeting; as I have stated before I think the programme looks
good and I am sure it will be worthwhile.
Comments please as ever..
Best wishes
Richard
