This is the second last mail wrt to the AGM, I'll send one last one a
few days out next week.
--- Proxy votes ---
If you want to vote but can't be there on the night, please let the
committee know the name of a proxy. If you can't organise a proxy, mail
the committee and one of the current committee members will hold your
proxy vote.
If you do not let the committee know of your proxy appointment, the
proxy will NOT be allowed to vote on your behalf.
If you're a candidate and can't be there, mail the committee and one of
the current committee members will make a statement for you. You will
probably also wish to appoint a proxy to hold your vote.
PLEASE NOTE: If you can't be there and want to vote, you must make sure
that you have joined for 2004-2005. Either send us a cheque (accompanied
by your full name, postal address and email address) or send your proxy
along with the membership fee (and your full name, postal address and
email address).
--- Membership fees ---
The 2004-2005 membership fee is:
- $15 for full-time students, unemployed people and healthcare card
holders
- $25 for everyone else
Membership is until the 2005 AGM. The cost will halve on 26th September
2004 as per the Constitution, since you'll only get six months
membership at that point!

get an acceptance from you though, we'll have to assume you didn't
accept!
