Elizabeth sent this last night but it didn't appear - sent with the wrong
name maybe? I didn't think the list worked like that. Anyway, let's try
again as if it's from me.
Do the NPS rules state that there can only be one President? Another music
society to which I belong has on several occasions wanted to mark
exceptional contributions by outgoing chairpersons so we now have 2
presidents (and also a vice president). Each one now does only the amount
of work they have time or energy for and the membership is happy. If this
could be allowed then both Colin and Joyce Quin could be appointed and the
present difficulties resolved.

I'm not sure it was an opportunity missed.
If I understand the situation correctly (and maybe I don't), it wasn't
possible, according to the rules.
And Julia is absolutely right, that the rules can't just be set aside
because they are inconvenient at a particular point.
Having said that, I fully agree that Colin should be honoured in whatever
way may be possible.
If it is still possible for him to be President at this stage, within the
rules, I'd be all for it.
I do feel a bit sorry for the lady who's already been asked, though.
