[plug] AGM - change of office-bearers?

[Leon Brooks]

IIRC, two Tuesdays from now, PLUG are having an AGM. Is there going to be a 
change of office-bearers at the time? I know we need to replace JamesB for at 
least a year, but is anyone else thinking of tossing their hat into the ring?

If so, it would probably be better to say so now rather than then, so people 
can drag out and dust off their platforms, check the laces and the glue on 
the heels etc.

The the moment, we have:

Prez: Matt Kemner
Vice: Jason Nicholls
Secy/Tres: Tony Breeds-Taurima
Comm: Daniel Beard, (resigned) James Bromberger

The AGM would also be a wizard opportunity to start a fire under some new 
ideas, even simple things like charging $2 a head for non-members at talks 
and fixits to firstly encourage formal membership and secondly build up 
PLUG's liquid assets to enable PLUG to independently do stuff like host local 
conferences and talks, hire venues if needed, buy equipment if needed, and so 
on.

For an example of the latter, I've had a gentleman offer to pay for gear to 
host a local E3 node on Montgomery House (the old Graylands looney bin) if I 
can wangle permission. For PLUG to chip in on that, maybe offer something 
like free shaped access to WAIX through it would be good publicity, and would 
contribute to the education of many of the members
