G’day all WAMUGERS. Well, COVID has certainly made life interesting over the last 15 or so months and different and sometimes harder. We didn’t have User Groups for a while and now they are done via Zoom. But some things still roll on relentlessly and other things change yet stay the same. Your Committee has still been meeting and the WAMUG is still alive and kicking.
Did I say somethings still roll on relentlessly? Well, it’s that time of year for the annual general meeting (AGM). Where your committee stands down and you get to vote in a new committee - as long as you are a paid up member of course. A big thank you to those that have renewed your subscriptions. Apologies again on behalf of the committee for the difficulties earlier on. Who could know that dealing with one of the Big Four banks could be so difficult?! Anyway, all is good now. This week, we have started going through the membership mailing list to ensure that financial members can still post online. Any non-financial members will have posting privileges suspended. This is done each year before the AGM. Now - the committee. As I said before, the current committee will stand down as required at the AGM and a new committee for the next year is elected. Have you thought about being on the committee? It is not that arduous and fresh talent and views are always wanted and welcomed. The committee has still been meeting in person once a month because it has suited us but there is no reason why you couldn’t join the committee and, if not wanting or unable to attend the committee meetings in person, just Zoom in and partake. If you are interested in any position, please drop an email to me at members...@wamug.org.au <mailto:members...@wamug.org.au>. Under the WAMUG Constitution, the committee needs a "President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, and such other Members as determined by the Group in General Meeting.” Please consider helping the WAMUG by becoming a committee member. The current committee members have volunteered to stand again but the constitution says we should have a minimum of five and we currently only have four as one had to leave. Dependent on the rush of nominations, voting details will be forwarded out over the weekend. If you Zoom in to the AGM, you can vote in person! The AGM will be held immediately before the June User Group, via Zoom. See the website for full details. <http://www.wamug.org.au/meetings/ <http://www.wamug.org.au/meetings/>>. 7.30 pm start. (User Groups by Zoom ten to go for about an hour or so.) See you there. Regards Pete Smith
