Hey everyone,
As it's Hilary, it's probably time for an Annual General Meeting. While like any dictator I am loath to give up the reigns of power, in this case I was actually the one to write the constitution, so I suppose I better had.
Last year we had a BBQ, and it was genuinely good fun - the tiresome rigmerole of actually electing a set of oligarchs hardly infrindged upon the gaity of the event, temporally or otherwise.
I was thinking Sunday of eighth week for the AGM - does that sound good to people?
Here are some possible dates and times.

Obviously, all of you should run for a position! Running the society is like joining the army, insomuchas you get to meet interesting people, but also unlike joining the army, insomuchas they generally don't try to kill you.*
You will also gain access to SECRET BONUS FEATURES, like the never-before-seen Official History of the Oxford Transhumanist Society!
yeah!

If you're not hip with Oxford Weeks, that's the 3-4 march weekend.
