Councillors are elected for a period of 4 years, serving for a maximum of 8 years. The Council has a maximum of seven elected positions; there are seven South-West Counties, but this is coincidence. Counciilors work for the interests of the South-West athletics community, not just their own county.

  • 2025 elections:
    • Elliot Prince: eligible for second 4-year term
  • 2027 elections:
    • Paul d'Arcy, John Deaton: not eligible for further service
    • Brian Baker, Debbie Brooks, Holly Newman, Charlotte Phillips: eligible for second 4-year term

    The Council is entitled to appoint up to six co-opted members (i.e. one less than the number of elected members). The Council is in discussion with EA to determine who may be co-opted.
