[SUMC] AGM and Other exciting things!!

[SUMC Committee]

Hi again everyone this is going to be a bit of a long email so bear with
me.

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.

This will be held on *Friday the 4th of April*, Please come along as
decisions made here will affect the club and how you interact with it over
the coming year.

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:

*President *(Joe McCarty)

The head of the club and responsible for organising training sessions
(Monday and Thursday nights), day trips and weekend trips. Is the
main liaison with Sport Swansea and chairs committee meetings, providing
the agenda and delegating tasks to other committee members. The candidate
must be friendly, approachable, organised, responsible, authoritative,
safety conscious, committed and ready to put a lot of time and energy into
the club. They must be competent and knowledgeable in climbing matters both
indoors and outdoors but do not necessarily have to climb E-grades.

*Secretary *(Emily)

Responsible for taking, writing up and circulating minutes from committee
meetings and booking accommodation for weekend trips (incl. liaison with
owners). Also is responsible for BMC memberships, helping with the
paperwork on Monday nights and general admin tasks. Although this may not
sound much, it cannot be overstated how important this role is. The
candidate must be very organised, professional, helpful, reliable and
efficient.

*Treasurer *(Chris Lyus)

Responsible for organising and keeping track of the club's finances both in
the tin and the club account. Responsible for collecting money on all club
trips and for liaising with the S.U. finance office. Must be organised,
trustworthy, reliable and have some affinity with numbers.

*Gear Rep *(Matt Everett)

Cares for and keeps track of all club equipment including trad gear,
bouldering mat, harnesses, shoes and ropes. Responsible for organising the
transport of the appropriate equipment to all club trips and for making
sure it all comes back. Makes sure that the equipment is safe for use by
club members but is NOT responsible for washing ropes. The candidate must
be organised and have some background knowledge in gear use, maintenance
and damage inspection as well as having somewhere safe and large enough to
keep it all.

*Training Officer (*Zara Sheady)

Manages the bouldering team and is responsible for everything related to
them including BUCS applications, transport, accommodation and training
sessions. Must be a competent and skilled boulderer with a knowledge of
training and technique. May also be involved in the running of general
training sessions for other club members such as learn to lead days/nights
and fear management courses. Must be committed to the team and able to
train at least three times a week.

*Social Sec *(Position currently vacant)

Organises all socials and books all relevant rooms and transport as well as
informing members of what is occurring through facebook, e-mail and
announcements. Responsible for making members feel welcome in the club.
Must be really friendly and approachable and, ideally, imaginative so that
they can come up with great social ideas.

*Management Rep (*Alex Linge)

Essentially an advisory role, the candidate must have committee experience
and be helpful and responsible.

*Web Sec *(Position currently vacant)

Responsible for managing the SUMC website, our space on the S.U. website

all year will only continue to function with your input

hope to see you there
