Proposed Structure

Impact of Redistricting on BS

If current proposals are approved at MD Convention

• Seven zones (A to G) will move to new District CN

• Two zones (H and I) will move to new District CW

• Clubs will stay within their current zones

• Current elected leadership of 1st VDG Steve Shields and 2nd VDG Teresa Nickson (subject to election) will complete their terms in office

• Other current Cabinet officers will remain in place until Districts change

Why restructure?

• Reducing the number of districts to seven (excluding Ireland) would save the MD, at least, £12,687

• In addition the total cost per member could be reduced by• the cost of 5 conventions, 20 cabinet meetings,

an estimated 200 district officers and 5 DG allowances

• Increase the pool of members from which leaders can be found in each district
