[plug] *** PLUG AGM & Workshop Rescheduled ***

[Daniel J. Axtens]

Hi all,

A quick reminder that PLUG will be having it's AGM for 2007 at 7:30pm
in the Cameron Hall loft above UCC, on Monday 29th January.  PLUG's
monthly workshop will be held after the meeting. Note that this is the
*fifth* Monday of January, not the fourth Monday as is usual - this is due
to some venue difficulties, and general New Year disorganisation :).

The general agenda for the evening will be:

 - Welcome
 - State of the union address
 - Vote in new committee
 - General business
 - Close

The PLUG committee positions will be vacated and a new committee
greeted in to run the club for another year. The following
committee positions are to be filled, and a brief description of their
roles is included.

 - President (currently Ian Kent)
    + generally ensure the club runs and runs smoothly.
    + Primary point of contact - liaising with venue sponsors, media,
      community, and anybody else who might be interested in us.

- Vice-president (currently Bernard Blackham)
    + also ensure the club runs smoothly.

 - Treasurer (currently Mark Gaynor)
    + takes responsibility for the club's finances - bank account, cash
      box, etc.

  - Secretary (currently Daniel Axtens)
    + responsible for clearing out PLUG's PO box (located in South Perth).
    + responsible for PLUG paperwork and meeting minutes.

  - Two Ordinary Committee Members (currently Tim White, Jeff Rida,
      Marcus Giles, and Cameron Patrick)
    + support the executive in committee work.

We also have a handful of very important roles which are not
strictly tied to committee and would benefit everybody to share the
load around. These roles are:

 - Librarian - currently Ken Muir-Hunt
    + take possession of the PLUG library of CDs and books, and act
      as the point of contact for members wishing to borrow and return
      items.

  - Talks co-ordinators - currently Alastair Irvine
    + arrange speakers and venues for PLUG's monthly seminars.

  - Webmasters - currently Bernard Blackham, Cameron Patrick,
   Daniel Axtens, Tim White, Mark Gaynor
    + ensure the website is up to date and accurate

  - Listmasters - Ian Kent, Mark Gaynor and Tim White
    + trawl through the mailing list queue for the plug list and the
      off-topic list.

It will be possible to nominate people for any of these positions now
(by e-mail to the list), and also at the AGM (though on-list is preferable,
so that those voting by proxy know who they can vote for). You may
nominate any PLUG member including yourself.

You must be a financial member in order to vote or be nominated. You
can renew your membership on the evening - membership costs are
$10 for full membership or $5 for students/concessioners.


Regards,
Daniel Axtens
