[H-GEN] Humbug 2012 AGM Agenda

FYI All,

I will be attending the AGM and am happy to act as proxy. I am not
nominating for, nor will I accept nomination for any exec position.

I would use you vote as follows...
  - To accept the reports from the previous AGM.
  - In the event of a ballot for a committee position I would use your vote
    to elect the "most sensible person" (which would most likely equate to
    the person I thought would actually do the work).
