5, Candidates attempting tests with unsuitable models.
Chris Bromley (Area Chairman) said that all the information that a candidate required was available from the office upon request.

Therefore an EGM will be called prior to the next Area meeting to elect a Area FF Comp Sec. The retiring officer will be invited to attend if he wishes to stand again.
