<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi again everyone this is going to be a bit of a long email so bear with me. <br><br></div>The end of the year is coming up on us faster than you may think. This can mean only one thing, it is time for our AGM ( annual general meeting) where we will discuss the state of the club, where we would like to see it in the future and most importantly elect a new committee for the academic year 2014/2015. <br>
<br></div>This will be held on <b>Friday the 4th of April</b>, Please come along as decisions made here will affect the club and how you interact with it over the coming year. <br><br><div><div><div>As i said we will be electing a new committee so I've put together a little description of each role, just so you
guys can have a think about what you might like to stand for and have a
chat to the committee if you want more information. There are currently 8
members of the committee and all MUST be friendly, approachable,
responsible and organised. I've also provided the name of the people who
currently hold the positions so you know who to talk to:
