Annual General Meeting - Friday 9th February 2007

The Melbourne Wireless Annual General Meeting for the Financial Year ending
31st December 2006 will take place at the Hawthorn Scout Hall on Friday, 9th
February 2007 at 7.30pm.  Doors will open and BBQ will commence at 7pm.

The Financial Report for the past financial year will be presented by the
Treasurer, and Elections for all Committee positions will take place.

Nominations must be received the Secretary (me) 7 days before the AGM - on
Friday 2nd February 2007.  According to the Rules, nominations must be
signed by two current financial members and have the consent of the member
being nominated.  I'll settle for an email each from two financial members
nominating a member, and (if the member didn't nominate themself) an email
from the member being nominated giving consent.  Send nomination emails to
secretary at melbournewireless.org.au.

Remember you must be a current financial member to nominate, to be nominated
and to sit on the Committee, and to vote.

All Committee positions are up for election.  The positions are:

President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer
Ordinary Members (4 positions)

If you've read this far, please consider nominating for one of the above
positions.  To continue running, Melbourne Wireless needs you!
