This is the one event a year that all current members need to attend! This is where we ratify any changes to the paperwork (constitution, security policy etc) and we vote in next year's exec. The voting this year is particularly important as pretty much entire current exec is leaving.

For info check your termisoc mail (poke an exec if you need help!), here's the original email:

I have just booked a room for the TermiSoc AGM. We'll be in Room 319 in the Babbage Building, from 1800 until (at the latest) 2100, on Tuesday the 11th of March (four weeks from tomorrow).

Since I'm the dogsbody^Wsecretary around here, I suppose it's my job to explain what's going on, for the benefit of the numpties^Wnew members.

The most important part of the AGM is the voting for a new exec team. This is usually done as punishment for turning up to too many socials and generally making yourself useful.

The required positions are:

• President.
• Secretary.
• Treasurer.
• Safety Officer.
• Technical Officer.

Other positions that we've had in the past, which you're welcome to stand for if you like:

• Assistant Technical Officer/Webmaster.
• Social Secretary.
• Projects Officer.*
• PR Officer.*
• Training Officer.*

* Requires exec consent.

If you'd like to run for one of these positions, send an email to termilist@termisoc.org before 23:59:59 on the 3rd of March (three weeks from today, one week before the AGM). Any ordinary (not honorary) member can do this, as long as they will be a member next academic year. Another member must second you for the position; again, any ordinary member can do this (even final-years, in this case), and again before the deadline.

If you'd like to propose a new role, or run for a role that doesn't currently exist (marked with a * in the list above) you can also do so, but this requires a unanimous vote of the current exec. If you do so, you'll need to justify the creation of the position.

The other thing that generally happens at the AGM is various motions that have been proposed. To propose a motion, send an email to termilist@termisoc.org before 23:59:59 on the 25th of February (two weeks from today, two weeks before the AGM). It must then be seconded by another member, again before the deadline.

An agenda will be published on or before the 4th of March, one week before the AGM, which will list of all the motions that were proposed and seconded.
