WPBSA votes for board members.

Mark Davis 57 votes
Mat Selt 50 votes
Shaun Murphy 29 votes
Ben Wollaston 28 votes
Only top 3 electored, 1 vote init between Murphy and Ben,bet Murphys gutted, surprised Selt gained 50 votes, intimidation?

Mark Davis the new Prime Minister, then?

Peter Lines (13 votes), Mike Dunn (11) and Barry Pinches (8) were the other three candidates.

Judging by the photo the meeting appears to have been sparsely attended.

I'm trying to identify everyone in that photo.

From right to left I've got:

J. Higgins, M. Selby, ?, ?, M. Selt (?), S. Murphy, P. Lines (?), and J. Brown.

If only Woollaston had remembered to vote for himself

Big news this, especially in light of the schism forming

That explains why I saw Murphy hanging about in his suit here yesterday.

80% turn out for the vote (most done by proxy.)

This is good news for the sport. Instead of just throwing potshots from the sidelines, most of the tour stepped up.

Got to hand it to Murphy for galvanising players to vote.

Murphy also an unlikely ally to Ronnie here, with his series of events coming up in China.

'Murphy has also thanked Selt for his work on encouraging a high turnout, with his fellow new board member campaigning hard in the build up to the vote.'

Two oft-derided players doing good work for the bigger picture here.

Smurph seems less of a "Yes Man" for WST than he used to be

P.Lines is Mark Davis but no idea on the duffel bloke. Could be J-Bags

Don't forget Nigel Bond and Kendo at the table.

Both of the remaining unknowns are one-legged. Trying to think if there are any one-legged players

Kyren Wilson?

Murphy chatting about it here, using phrases you’d expect from a parliamentary candidate. I honestly believe one day he’ll try it - probably start as a local councillor, and slowly claw his way up the political ladder. Like Arnie. But nothing like Arnie. Anyway…

Surely he’d be more like Ann Widdecombe?

Two Ann Widdecombes

"Struggled to get decorum", surely that should be "struggled to get to quorum"? I'm assuming that's the transcriber cocking up rather than Shaun.

Struggling to get on the forum, perhaps?

It’s happened to me

That the non meat version.
