WTF IS AN AGM?
!!!A LONG EMAIL BUT PLEASE READ!!!
So it seems that half the people I spoke to at practice don’t know what the AGM is and the other half couldn’t be arsed to read their emails. So here you go:
The AGM (annual general meeting) if the social where the club votes in the new exec. We will have everyone who is running for each position describe why they think they are so great then we will all vote for each position.
Afterwards we will have our annual tradition of a bake off. Everyone brings a selection of home baked treats and we all scoff them down whilest the judges decide who’s was the best.
Finally we will have a meal and a social (the whole thing will probably take place in a function room of a pub or restaurant or something) which will be our end of year social with awards and prizes and such.
The AGM is the one social event you don’t miss so it’s important you email edith (edith.read@kcl.ac.uk) now with which dates you can do (between 15th and the 26th), email must be sent before friday!!!
This also means it’s time to start thinking about running for a position on the exec. Being onthe exec is a great opportunity for you. You get to help sculpt the club, it looks good on your CV and it’s a great reason to goto the pub.
Below is a very brief breakdown of the positions you can run for.

Over see the exec meeting and are the central liaison between the SU and the frisbee community. Requires a lot of time spent sending and reading emails, attending meeting and making decisions.
