[UK-TUG] Notice of 2018 AGM

[Joseph Wright]

Dear UK-TUG member,

The 2018 UK-TUG AGM will be held on Saturday 17th November at 14:00. The
meeting will take place as part of the UK-TUG Speaker meeting in the
Fletcher Room, Trinity College, Oxford, OX1 3BH. We hope that as members
as possible will be able to attend the AGM and the Speaker meeting.

Notice is hereby given for the following.

*1. Election of Chair*

The two-year term of office of the Chair, Kaveh Bazargan, finishes at
the end of the AGM. Anyone who wishes to stand should ask a member to
nominate them for the post: in case of difficulty, please approach the
committee (uktug-committee at uk.tug.org).

Nominations should be sent to the Secretary, joseph.wright at
morningstar2.co.uk, by 23:59 on 2nd November. The candidate should
also confirm that they are happy to stand, and may be send a statement
for circulation to members in support of their candidature.

If there is a contested election then there will be an electronic
ballot.  Details of the candidates and supporting statements will be
circulated on Sunday 4th October and voting will close at 23:59 on
Friday 16th October.

*1. Elections for the committee*

The term of all committee members (with the exception of the Chair)
expires at the end of the AGM.  Anyone who wishes to stand should
contact the Secretary at any time before the AGM. Most of the business
of the committee is carried out electronically, so a remote location
should be no barrier. Nominations should be submitted by the candidate
and supported by a second member.

The current Chair was elected last year for a two year term so continues
until the end of the 2018 AGM.

*3. Motions for the AGM*

Any member may submit a motion to the AGM. Motions should be sent to the
Secretary at the e-mail address above, and should be received by 23:59
on Friday 2nd November. Motions and supporting documentation will be
circulated on Sunday 4th October.

Voting on motions will be possible by proxy for members not able to
attend the AGM. Full details will be given with the motions when circulated.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Joseph Wright
Secretary, UK-TUG
