So...... This is how it goes then!

Having finished the season it's now time for the social and administrative sides of the squad to start. I shall begin by giving a brief explanation of the up and coming social events. We are going to have the end of season club games and dinner (most likely on the same day). This involves the Weds 1st XI playing an old boys team, this is a high quality and competitive game. This is then followed by the mens 2nd XI against the ladies' 1st XI. This is a slightly more relaxed encounter and very good fun is had by all! The mens team usually take the opportunity on the friday nite before the match to have a good piss-up with the old boys. This will prob take place at the end of week 5 or 6. This is followed by the club dinner where all members attend and get lashed whilst all of the seasons prizes are awarded. It's all good fun and a welcome break from exams.

Then we have the slightly more serious matter of the AGM. As the men's and ladies clubs are separate we have separate AGM's. Here's roughly what's going to happen at the mens: Firstly we shall have an intro by the president (Alan) Who runs the AGM. Then we have the captains reports. This is followed by deciding whether or not we want to enter any new leagues or cups (Possible discussion! Whether you reckon we should have a 2's indoor team or not?) This goes to a vote of the whole club, if you're a paid up member and present you get a vote on all issues, you also have the power to nominate or second people for positions. After this the fun starts! The nomination and election of positions. It starts with the President and works through to the Saturday 2's captain. The current President will open nominations for the new President ( at this point if you would like to nominate someone for President you do! Then when someone is nominated someone has to second the nomination, if this happens then the person is asked if they are willing to stand. Then everybody who has been nominated and agreed to stand is asked to leave the room and the people who nominated them make a speech on their behalf. A vote is then held and the candidates are invited back into the room for the result to be announced. Thne once all the positions have been elected, we rejoice! Then head out and get wankered as is traditional on a wednesday night!!!! So start havin a wee think about who you think would be good at what. Any q's you've got about what each committee member does, feel free to ask! The AGM is next Wednesday in the Sports fayre at 7pm!

See you all there kids!
