Ummm, oops, I suppose.... my bad. Think I assumed that this message had
been cc'd to/from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In either case, nothing untoward had been intended
had it - I mean, yes I now understand that perhaps it could read as if you
meant one thing, but I hadn't read it that way, at least not when I posted.

(sorry, it just popped in there.... :)
But as far as I can see, it's alright to noninate oneself, isnt it? I
stepped up last year, although I suppose I was being nominated by Geoffrey?
Or was that seconded? Anyway, I'm not neccesarily assuming that I will be on
the committee again, just was stating that I'd nominate, and doing so in the
slug-list seemed the appropriate place.
in answer to your last: I wasn't actually nominating for a position, just
for the same thing as last year, a general committee member ... do I have
to state a position as such? Speaking frankly I do not wish to take on the
responsibility of Treasurer, at least not at this time. Presumably with your
absence, we'll need someone to be Secretary. At this time, I'm not confident
I have enough organising skills to take on that role, although I can do
minutes and stuff; I'd rather have someone who's better acquainted with the
duties and role, and I still feel a bit of an outsider to nominate for
anything more significant than general committee.
Of course I'd welcome any advice you may have; will you still be coming
along to regular meetings? Should I be called upon to do so, I could only
hope to act as competently as you have done so to this point; I strongly
suspect that your efforts will be more appreciated in your absence! :)
Indeed, in my ignorance, I should still say thank you for your work this
previous year!

Hopefully this has done just that... so all's well in the end.. :}
see everyone Friday?
