Council then unanimous elected Officier Dr. Leroy Edgar McCully as the new Argentier for 2012-2013.


Message from our Bailli Délégué


Dear members,

I wish to advise that David Chong has had to step down from the Council and as his role as Argentier. After so many years of continual commitment to our Bailliage his business commitments have made him make this tough decision. I would like to thank you David for his wonderful commitment serving in many roles including many years as Bailli Délégué.

I am delighted to announce that the Council has appointed Dr Leroy McCully as the new Argentier for this year. Leroy is known to most of you as was elected to the role of Auditor at our AGM in March. I personally thank Leroy for stepping up to fill this very important Council role and we all look forward to working with him.

We will shortly be announcing the appointment of the second auditor to join Ling Tok Hong on the Council.

Best Regards

A.Patrick Imbardelli

Bailli Délégué
