Good morning Climbers! <div><br></div><div>Happy second e-mail of the day. I would like to bring your attention to the fact that the AGM date has been set for the 3rd of May and that there are many committee positions that need filling for next year. If you think you're friendly, responsible, approachable and organised and feel that you have the skills to fill any of the roles listed below, then you should definitely think about standing for a position! If you don't think you're those things, but others think you are then you should also consider standing. If you know you aren't any of these things and don't even want to be part of the committee anyway then you should still come along as there may well be free cookies and you can give us your feedback on how you think this year has gone and how we can improve for next year.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here is a description of each position as well as the name of the person who currently holds it so that you know who to talk to if you're interested:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
