Other new elections to the Executive Committee included Riccardo Bobisse, Paul Smith and Niltay Tosun-Erdem; the latter has already been involved with the UDG, assisting in digitisation of archive copies of the journal.

Ben van Bruggen, Sebastian Loew, Colin Munsie, Katy Neaves, Paul Reynolds, Barry Sellers and Alan Stones were all re-elected.

Long-standing committee members John Billingham, Philip Cave, Duncan Ecob, Graham Smith and Jack Warshaw all agreed to continue their invaluable work for the UDG and will be co-opted to the 2011-12 Executive Committee at its first meeting in July. Similarly Andrew Dakin will be co-opted as a policy and regeneration advisor and a vital contact in Wales and the South west region.

There is a plan to amend the UDG constitution over the coming year, allowing for the election of a larger executive committee. Finally we bid a fond farewell to 2010-11 Executive Committee member Sophie Burtt who has returned left the UK to return to New Zealand, although she hopes to retain contact with the UDG.  We wish her luck in her future career.
