Paragraph 13 Chairman

The Governors at their first ordinary meeting in each year shall elect two of their number to be chairman and deputy chairman respectively of their meetings until the commencement of the first ordinary meeting in the following year.

The persons so appointed who may be known by the title of Chairman and Deputy Chairman respectively (or such other names as the Governors from time to time agree) shall be eligible for re-election under this clause.

If at any meeting the chairman is not present within ten minutes after the time appointed for holding the same or there is no chairman then the deputy chairman shall preside, and if the deputy chairman shall also be absent, the Governors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

The duties of the Chairman shall be to exercise such authority and to transact or decide such business as may be specifically or generally delegated to him by the Governors.

The Deputy Chairman is authorised to act as Chairman during the absence or incapacity of the Chairman.
