I predict this will be a long E-mail, so I'll do my best to keep it brief. Also this is aimed at EVERYONE!<br><br><br><font size="4"><u><b>AGM</b></u></font><br><br>The AGM (Annual General Meeting) is on the 4th May. This is where we discuss things (as a club, not just a committee) such as entry prices to the club, voting for next years committee and other important stuff that effect YOU the climbers next year. If you think we should increase/decrease entrance the club, or you want to run for a committee position then YOU SHOULD ATTEND! :)<br>
<br>The reason this is heading out now is to a) give you guys loads of warning about it, and b) give you opportunity to decide if you want to run for a committee position. Bare in mind you'll be elected by your peers, and unlike other elections, this one isn't just a popularity contest: you need to be competent at the position you go for! I.E. a T-total social sec will be considered, but probably not elected...<br>
<br><br>So what are the committee positions and what do? Heres a brief job description and whos doing it this year:<br><br><u>President </u>- Matt Everett - Head of the club, responsible for organisation of day trips, night sessions, AU (or similar) liaison, job delegation in the committee, raising key points for the committee discussions. Must be highly responsible, authoritative, organised, perceptive and have high levels of outdoor experiance. Does NOT have to climb E-grades/F7a...<br>
<br><u>Secretary</u> - Charlotte Graves - Sorts and organises accommodation for weekend trips (including liaison with owners), takes minutes at every committee meeting and AGM, multiple other smaller organisiational duties including members database, BMC memberships and other paperwork. Must be organised (in case you hadn't gathered that already :P ), efficient, relatively polite, ability of professionalism and helpful. <br>
<br><u>Treasurer </u>- Matt Riordan - Keeps accurate book keepings of cash flow in the club both in the 'tin' and in the account. Collects money of people for night sessions, day trips, weekend trips and all other financial transactions. Liaises between the financial body of the AU (or similar) which can be labour intensive by itself. Must be highly organised, authoritative, trustworthy and reliable.<br>
<br><u>Gear rep</u> - Joe McCarty - Holds and tracks all items of club owned equipment, including ropes, the bouldering mat, trad gear, shoes and harnesses. Responsible for condition monitoring of said equipment to maintain fit and safe condition for use in the club. NOT responsible for washing ropes. Candidate must be organised and have good background knowledge in climbing equipment, uses, damage understanding, safe and secure storage locations (as well as room for it all - its a lot!) Gear rep must also organise transport of equipment to night sessions, day trips and weekend trips. <br>
<u><br>Training officer</u> - Nick Foulds - Manages the bouldering squad and ALL affairs relating to them (including BUCS, (Varsity), training). Must be a competent and skilled boulderer with the ability to teach moves that will help new climbers. Must have a lot of time for the squad and be able to organise BUCS independantly. <br>
<br><u>Social secretary</u> - Cathy Stillman - Organises socials for the club from simple nights out to film nights and film festivals. Responsible for integrating and mixing club members with each other.<br><br><u>Management rep</u> - Dave Sperring - This is usually given to the current president. Role is to advise the new committee on the job, give advice and generally lend a hand in all departments.<br>
<br><br>Have a think if you could be one of those people, and prepare a speech for the AGM arguing your case. There will be others going for your position too so try to be as professional as possible!<br><br><font size="4"><u><b>Dynamic rock final session</b></u></font><br>
<br>The final trip to dynamic rock will be this Monday. The following Monday session will be cancelled... For anyone wanting to send those last minute boulder problems before term finishes, now's your chance! Also if you go on Monday night, it'll leave your Wednesday afternoon free to get outdoors if it's still sunny!<br>
<br><font size="4"><u><b>Final uni wall session</b></u></font><br><br>The final uni wall session is THIS thursday and will be run by Dave. Last minute fun to be had on Thursday. Also as the gear rep is away for this, there will be NO shoes available and only a handful of harnesses so please remember to bring your kit if you have it!<br>
<br>Thats all for now. This hopefully will be my last E-mail unless shit hits the fan for some reason, so have a fantastic easter all, gets lots of climbing done, and see you after the break for lots of lovely exams....<br>
