Chairperson and not less then three others, all of whom shall have been
appointed by the Management Committee.
2) No member of the audition panel shall take any part in any production in
respect of which that audition panel is sitting unless a) auditions do not take

3) The audition panel shall reach its recommendation by simple majority vote.
Each member, save for the Chairperson, shall have a single vote in relation to
each part.

eventuality the Management Committee shall be made aware that the
recommendation was reached by a casting vote.

recommendations and communicate these to the Management Committee,

The Management Committee recommends that:
a) members of the audition panel should normally take no part in auditions other
than as a member of the panel,
b) recommendations for the allocation of parts should be determined on merit and
suitability only,
c) save in exceptional circumstances all the auditions for a production take place
on the same occasion.

reached they should put their request in writing and submit it through the
Chairman of the Management Committee.
