Perth Linux User Group
Annual General Meeting Report 2004
 
 
The Perth Linux User Group (PLUG) Annual General Meeting was held Tuesday
February 10 at the normal Tuesday meeting place, Perth Central TAFE in
Northbridge.
 
Present were:-
 
Vice President - Bernard Blackham 
Secretary - Mark Gaynor
OCM - Clare Johnstone
OCM - Leon Brooks
and twenty plus, general members.
 
Apologies received from:-
 
President - Tony Breeds
Treasurer - Mark Tearle
 
The meeting was officially opened at 1950Hrs with the Vice President
(Bernard Blackham) welcoming everyone to the Perth Linux User Group Annual
General Meeting for 2003/4. 
 
The President, Tony Breeds, had resigned his position in December 2003
after moving to our Nation’s Capital, Canberra.  Bernard Blackham
delivered the “State of the Union Address” in Tony’s absence. Bernard
also acknowledged the outgoing committee and thanked them for their time
and effort.
 
Harry McNally volunteered to be returning officer for the meeting. There
was no objection, so Harry set the procedure the meeting would follow to
nominate and vote for all the positions.
 
There were no written nominations lodged before the meeting, so all
committee positions were then declared vacant and nominations to fill these
positions were called for, seconded and voted on.
 
Where more than one person was nominated, the nominees were asked to
briefly address the meeting to put their views forward for that position. A
vote then followed and the position filled by popular vote.
 
Positions where there was only one nominee, that position was declared
filled unopposed and no vote was recorded.


The new committee:-
 
-         President - Bernard Blackham 
-         Vice-President - Leon Brooks
-         Treasurer - Mark Gaynor 
-         Secretary - Clare Johnstone
-         OCM - Adrian Woodley
-         OCM - Cameron Patrick
 
Other roles that were filled (not a committee position)
 
-         Talks co-ordinator - Craig Abernethie
-         Librarian - Nick Bannon 
-         Web Masters - James Devenish, Cameron Patrick and Mark Gaynor
 
Following the election of committee members, Harry handed the meeting over
to the new President, Bernard Blackham, who welcomed the new committee then
continued with the meeting agenda.
 
General business:-
 
The bank account:-
 
It was resolved that the committee would deal with the problem of
transferring the PLUG funds to another club friendly bank or building
society as a matter of urgency.
 
Membership Cards:-
 
A discussion followed. It was pointed out that a design had already been
presented and reference could possibly be found on the mailing list.
Cameron volunteered to search the PLUG mailing list and post the results to
the list for discussion and a decision. The committee would take the final
design and get it professionally printed. It is hoped, if possible, these
would be available by the February UCC or the March TAFE meeting.
 
The meeting was closed at 2020Hrs.



Regards

Mark
