Table Tennis England is inviting nominations for one Elected Deputy Chairman to serve on the Board until the 2023 AGM.

The election has been called following the sad death of Charlie Childs and will be carried out electronically as the office is closed at present because of the Coronavirus Crisis.

The Board has agreed an amendment to the regulations entitled Temporary Annex 1 to Part I: Election of Directors during the COVID19 Crisis, which can be found at the very back of Regulation Part I.

Company members will be sent an email with the information normally contained on the ballot paper and be invited to vote by sending a reply to the email to a password protected email address which the Returning Officer, Assistant Returning Officer and Scrutineers (but no one else) have access to, so that any of them can check remotely that the votes have been correctly recorded and counted.

The following documents have been published on the website:

• Election Calendar
• FAQs
• Nomination Paper
• Consent to Nomination Paper
• The Electoral Register
• Regulations Part I, Electoral Register and Election of Directors
