Message-ID: <2c4bd495-fa20-4f68-9d63-e828706d1437@stuart.id.au>

Humbug's 2025 AGM will be held at the Humbug meeting on Saturday the
8th of November.  It will held during the normal meeting, at
UQ St Lucia Building 78, room 217.  It will commence at 4 PM.

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 2025 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 7st Nov 2025 to make bookkeeping on the day easier.

3:50 PM  Attendees are asked to join so their attendance can be
          recorded for the minutes.

4:00 PM  Meeting Opened.

4:01 PM  Reports on the finances and member from the Executive.

4:10 PM  General Business.

4:20 PM  Election of new Executive.

4:30 PM  Close.

After the AGM closes the new committee will commence accepting
membership payments for the 2025/2026 year.  This is traditionally the
time most people renew their membership.
