Unfortunately, due to a lack of time to fulfil his duties, Tim Cooke the
Vice-President has resigned his post. This means we now have a vacancy to
be filled on the Committee. This would normally require us to hold an EGM
for an election, but as we already have an EGM scheduled for this coming
Tuesday we can kill two birds with one stone.

The deadline for motions for the EGM is still midday tomorrow (Saturday),
but to give candidates a chance to come forward the deadline for
nominations for the post of Vice President will be midday on Monday the
10th. Candidates will need to gain signatures of two other Society members
to be eligible. Completed nominations should be placed in the President's
(Steve Strafford's) pigeon-hole in Christ's College.

For those of you who haven't done this before, the election is held by
secret ballot and a simple majority will decide the winner. In the event
of a tie, the President may use a casting vote or name a contest to decide
the winner. 

This could be your chance to ascend the lofty heights of power... Just
think of those CV points! 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the Committee members.
