On 24th January 2009 ITF England held a continuation of its AGM that was initially held on 11th November 2008. The majority of the business at hand was covered during the initial meeting in November, but voting matters had to be postponed until January in order to obtain clarification of which members fully met the voting eligibility criteria.

Agenda topics at the AGM included:

• Reports from the incumbent Board of Directors, namely Master O. Ellis as President, Mr N. Symonds as Technical Director, Miss Z. Bowie as Secretary, Mrs L. Dennis as Treasurer, Mr P. Lear as Tournament Director, and additionally a report from the National Coach, Mr T. Denis.
• A discussion regarding advertising and marketing of events across the member groups of ITF England, and how this could be better managed
• A number of other discussions under the Any Other Business agenda point.

Voting for the Board of Director positions was performed at the continuation meeting, the results of which are as follows:

Nominated for Presdient: Master O. Ellis and Master D. Nardizzi. Elected: Master O. Ellis.

Nominated for Secretary: Mr G. Patterson. Elected: Mr G. Patterson.

Nominated for Technical Director: Mr N. Symonds. Elected: Mr N. Symonds.

Members who were eligible to vote (8 members) and were present at the meeting included Master O. Ellis, Mr T. Denis, Mr K. Chesterman, Mr G. Patterson, Mr N. Symonds, Mr P. Lear, Mr A. Adolph, and Mr R. Adelegun, with proxy votes (5 members) received from Mr A. McKenna, Mr M. Hewlett, Mrs L. Dennis, Mr J. Moreno, and Mr D. Charlton.
