The term of office as Deputy Chair is for two years, at which point the Deputy Chair will succeed Dr Solanki as Chair.  

England Council meets 3 times a year.

The England Council Chair is an ex officio member of the BGS Board of Trustees. The BGS Trustee Board meets 4 times a year and the Chair of England Council is required to attend each meeting; the deputy Chair may be called upon to attend these meetings if the Chair is unable to do so.
