Sark Seneschal Reg Guille.
SARK has taken the first legislative step towards splitting the dual role of the Seneschal.

Only two members spoke against the proposal with both Conseillers Diane Baker and Sandra Williams repeating the opposition they first expressed when the matter was discussed in principle early last month.

A sad day for Sark and, in my opinion, a totally unnecessary loss of another Sark tradition.
