The AGM will be held on Monday the 14th of March in the upstairs room of The Castle Inn (on Castle Hill). We have the room from 8.00 pm and the meeting will commence at 8.30 pm sharp. A buffet will be provided, and there will be music and blackjack afterwards. The most important piece of business will be the election of a committee for 2005-06. If you want to stand then start thinking about it now. It can be hard work, but it's also rewarding and fun. Nominations must be made and seconded by two Rocksoc Members (not the person standing), and submitted to Elise Conolly, either by email to secretary at rocksoc.org.uk or by post to 35 Bourne Road, Cambridge, CB4 1UF. The deadline for nominations is 6.00 pm on Monday 7th March. Manifestos will be forwarded to rocksoc-official and to the website by Elise. The posts available will be:

President: Chairs committee meetings, has overall responsibility for events happening and has to organise most of what isn't someone else's responsibility.

Feel free to e-mail any committee member personally or collectively on rocksoc-committee at rocksoc.org.uk if you have any questions about any post. Any other motions for the agenda should be sent to Elise by 07/03/05. Votes on motions and elections of committee members will be determined by a majority of those present or proxy votes, votes on constitutional will be determined by a 2/3 majority of those present or proxy vote. The President does not vote but has a casting vote to be used in the event of a tie.

If you will not be able to attend you will be able to vote by post or by e-mail. The agenda and nominations list will be published on 08/03/05, to rocksoc-official and on the website. If you then wish to vote by post you should e-mail or post your votes on all agenda items to Elise by midnight on 13/03/05. Any votes received after this time WILL NOT be counted. We can accept no responsibility for votes sent in good time but which failed to reach us. Anyone who submits a postal vote will not be allowed to vote at the AGM. Only members are allowed to vote. A valid membership card will be required to vote on the night. If there is anyone who is a member who for whatever reason does not have a membership card, please e-mail Elise with your full name and address and she will send one to you in good time. The minutes will be posted to the website following the event. Anyone without access to the Internet can request for a copy to be posted to them.

I know the AGM doesn't sound very exciting, but it's important if we are to keep the society running and putting on the events we all enjoy. Please think about standing for the committee, and try to come and vote even if you don't want to stand.
