<p>Hi members,</p>
<p>As chair I just told you of an SGM on dissolution. <br>
</p>
<p> I'd like to say more about motions at the SGM to do with
money. This is just me, I'm not speaking for the committee.<br>
</p>
<p><i>IF</i> UKTUG dissolves there will be "Surplus funds".
Surplus funds are money left over after UKTUG has sold its
stuff, paid its debts etc. I think it might be about £8000. This
is just a guide.<br>
</p>
<p><b>It turns out you need to move fast if you want to see a motion
that tells the committee who to give that money to. </b>Sorry.
I might explain the politics of the timetabling another time.<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>On dissolution, surplus funds must go to an organisation that
has aims similar to those of UKTUG.</li>
<li>The organisation must be willing to accept the money. <br>
</li>
</ul>
TUG is willing.
<p>If you feel strongly that (some) surplus funds should go
elsewhere, please get in touch with me or the committee <b>as
soon as possible. </b><b><br>
</b></p>
<p>Timing: the committee needs some time to approve /prepare
motions, and motions must be with the secretary before noon
October 12th. It makes matters more difficult that our
constitution thinks email takes 48 hours between leaving and
arriving. (It was written when some email still travelled over
road, rail rather than cable.) <br>
</p>
<p>best wishes,<br>
</p>
<p>Jay Hammond</p>
