+\title{Announcement of the Annual General Meeting}
+\begin{Article}
+\noindent
+The Annual General Meeting of the \UKTUG\ will
+be held on 16~October at the University of Warwick. Full
+details will be given in \BV\ 6.4.
+
+The Constitution contains the following clauses:
+\begin{quote}
+17. \ The annual general meeting of the \ukt\ shall be
+held in the United Kingdom not later than the last day of
+November in each year on a date and at a
+time to be fixed by the Committee and notified to members
+at least 35 days in advance for the
+following purposes---
+
+(1) to receive from the Committee a report balance sheet and statement of
+accounts for the preceding financial year
+
+(2) to fill the vacancies in the Committee and to appoint auditors for the
+ensuing year
+
+(3) to decide on any motion which may be proposed to the meeting in the
+manner provided below
+
+(4) to fix the entrance fee (if any) and annual subscription
+
+18. \ Any member desirous of proposing any motion at the
+annual general meeting shall give notice in writing to the secretary not
+later than 14 days before the date of such meeting
+
+23. \ No amendment (other than a motion for adjournment) shall be moved to any
+motion proposed at any annual or special general meeting unless written notice
+of the amendment shall have been sent to the secretary prior to the meeting
+\end{quote}
+
+I think that Clauses 17~(3), 18 and 23 are self-explanatory.
+
+A draft agenda, covering items (3) and (4) will appear in \BV\ 6.4.
+In the meantime, anyone wishing to propose
+ any motion to the \acro{AGM} must send me, in writing, the
+ text of the proposed motion and their own name and
+ address, to reach me by 2~October 1996.
+If there are any changes to the draft agenda, the final agenda will be sent to
+members in the 14 days before the \acro{AGM}.
+
+The chair's term of office has a further year to run.
+
+As for other vacancies on the Committee,
+Clause~10 of the Constitution implies that
+at most~3 members of the present Committee may continue without
+being re-elected.
+Thus Clause~9
+implies that there are
+at least 8~vacancies to be filled.
+
+The following parts of Clause~10 describe the procedure for
+filling these vacancies:
+\begin{quote}
+(3) Any two members who are individuals may
+nominate any member or members of the group who are individuals
+to fill any of
+the vacancies by giving at least 7~days notice in writing to the
+secretary
+
+(4) If there are more nominations than vacancies then the membership
+will be decided by an election by single transferable vote in which
+every member of the \ukt\ who is an individual and is
+present at the annual general meeting
+shall be entitled but not obliged to vote
+\end{quote}
+
+Nominations for committee members in accordance with the above
+sub-clauses are thus being sought.
+Written nominations for new committee
+ members should be sent to me, to reach me by 9~October
+ 1996.
+There
+ is no official nomination form. If you like, you may use the
+forms provided with this \BV . Otherwise, what you send
+ me should contain, clearly and legibly,
+\begin{verse}
+ ---name and address of nominee\\
+ ---declaration that (s)he is willing to stand for this
+ office, signed by the nominee\\
+ ---name and address of the nominator\\
+ ---statement nominating the nominee, signed by the
+ nominator\\
+ ---name and address of seconder\\
+ ---statement in support of the nomination, signed by
+ the seconder.
+\end{verse}
+ The nominee, nominator and seconder should all be members
+ of the \ukt\,
+and the last two should be different from each
+ other.
+
+Once elected, the Committee appoints officers from its membership.
+
+ In all the above, `in writing' means `on paper', not email.
+
+% Please put `UKTUG' on the outside of the envelope when you
+%send me any of the above. Otherwise, people may find themselves
+%elected to the wrong committee.
+
+My address is
+\begin{verse}
+\acro{IT} Services\\
+London School of Economics\\
+Houghton Street\\
+London\\
+WC2A 2AE
