[H-ANNOUNCE] Humbug 2016 AGM Agenda

[Russell Stuart]

Humbug's 2016 AGM will be held at the Humbug meeting on Saturday the
24th of September.  It will commence at 5 PM, in room 430 of
the Joyce Ackroyd (Building 37).

I encourage you to participate at the AGM.  Everyone is welcome to
attend, however only financial members who were also financial 3 or
more months ago can vote.  Lapsed members can vote at this AGM by
renewing their membership here:

If you can't attend in person please lodge a proxy.  It is not
difficult to do.  Just send an email form your usual Humbug email
address to admin at lists.humbug.org.au which looks like this:

  I [your name] wish to nominate [name of person attending the AGM who
  is eligible to vote] as my proxy at the Humbug 2016 AGM.  You may
  contact me on [your phone number] to verify this proxy.

To make it easier you can nominate myself as your proxy.  If you do not
indicate a preference I will use your proxy to vote as follows:

  - To accept the reports from the previous AGM.
  - To accept any constitutional amendments I move.
  - You will abstain on any executive position I am nominated for.

I will decide on the day how to vote executive positions and other
motions that may arise.

The agenda will be as follows:

Midnight Deadline for proxies.  No proxies will be accepted after
         23:59 PM 23nd Sep 2015 to make bookkeeping on the day easier.

4:45 PM  Attendance sheet is distributed.  All proxies you hold must
         be noted on the attendance sheet.

5:00 PM  Meeting is opened.

5:01 PM  Reports from the current Executive.  These will be a brief
         summary of events in 2016.

5:15 PM  General Business.

5:30 PM  Election of new Executive.

5:45 PM  Close.

After the AGM closes the new committee will commence accepting
membership payments for the 2016/2017 year.  This is traditionally the
time most people renew their membership.

Finally, Humbug needs a motivated and energetic Executive.  At the AGM
people who could fill the roles on the Executive are nominated form the
floor, and if there is more than one nominee for any position we vote
on it.  If you are keen to see things change, or have some ideas or
just think it is time for new blood nominate yourself or someone else
for a position on the Executive.  To nominate for one of the three
positions (President, Secretary, Treasurer) or to second a nomination
either send an email to general at humbug.org.au from your normal Humbug
email address, or do it from the floor the day.

I will be making myself available for all positions.
