The preliminary +announcement appears now to ensure that Clause~17 (below) is fulfilled +even if \BV~4.4 is delivered later than scheduled. + +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--- +\begin{enumerate} +\item to receive from the Committee a report balance sheet and statement of +accounts for the preceding financial year +\item to fill the vacancies in the Committee and to appoint auditors for the +ensuing year +\item to decide on any motion which may be proposed to the meeting in the +manner provided below +\item to fix the entrance fee (if any) and annual subscription +\end{enumerate} +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~4.4. In +the meantime, anyone wishing to propose any motion to the AGM must +send me, in writing, the text of the proposed motion and their own +name and address, to reach me by 5~October 1994. If there are any +changes to the draft agenda, the final agenda will be sent to members +in the 14 days before the AGM. + +%Anyone wishing, at that stage, to move +%any amendment to any motion, must send me, in writing, the +% text of the proposed amendment and their own name and +% address, to reach me by 19 October 1993. + +%The chair's term of office ends at this AGM. The following clause +%from the constitution describes the procedure which should be followed. +%\begin{quote} +%11. \ (1) The chair of the group shall be the chair of +%the committee +% +%(2) The chair of the group shall retire after completion of two +%consecutive years but shall be eligible for re-election +% +%(3) Any two members who are individuals may +%nominate any member of the group who is an individual +%to be the chair in writing to the +%secretary not less than two months before the date of retirement +% +%(4) If there are two or more nominations then the chair +%will be decided by a postal ballot by single transferable vote +%in which +%every member of The UK \TeX\ Users' Group who is an individual +%shall be entitled but not obliged to vote +%\end{quote} +% +% Nominations for the chair should be made in writing +% and sent to me, to reach me by 20 August 1993. There +% is no official nomination form. However, 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 UK \TeX\ Users' Group, +%and the last two should be different from each +% other. + +%The present incumbent has indicated that he does not wish to be +%nominated. Two nominations have been received but the committee felt that, +%since many members may not have been aware of the situation and of the +%constitutional closing date for nominations, that this date should be +%extended until 23 September. + +As for vacancies on the Committee, C.~A.~Rowley will continue as Chair +in 1994--94 and P.~Abbott as Treasurer and Membership Secretary. +Clause~10 of the Constitution implies that at most~3 other members of +the present Committee may continue without being re-elected. Thus +Clause~9 implies that there are up to 7~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 12~October +1994. There is no official nomination form. If you like, you may use +the forms provided at the end of this notice. 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. +Your present secretary is retiring (forced to under Clause~10~(1)) and +there is at present no Publicity person. Anyone with talents for +either of these jobs is strongly encouraged to stand for election to +the Committee. + +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} +Department of Mathematical Studies\\ +Goldsmiths' College\\ +New Cross\\ +London SE14 6NW +\end{verse} +until 31~August 1994; and +\begin{verse} +School of Mathematical Sciences\\ +Queen Mary and Westfield College\\ +Mile End Road\\ +London E1 4NS +\end{verse} +from 1~September 1994. +\end{Article} +\newpage +\noindent +\FullLine{Name of Nominee:} +\FullLine{Address:} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +I declare that I am a member of \ukt\ and am +willing to stand for election to the Committee of \ukt\ +for 1994--95. +\NL +\HalfLine{Signature:}\hspace{2em}Date: \hrulefill\NL +\FullLine{Name of Nominator:} +\FullLine{Address:} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +I declare that I am a member of \ukt\ and that I nominate the above-named +person for election to the Committee of \ukt\ for 1994--95. +\NL +\HalfLine{Signature:}\hspace{2em}Date: \hrulefill\NL +\FullLine{Name of Seconder:} +\FullLine{Address:} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +\FullLine{\phantom{Address:}} +I declare that I am a member of \ukt\ and that I second the nomination of the +above-named +person for election to the Committee of \ukt\ for 1994--95. +\NL +\HalfLine{Signature:}\hspace{2em}Date: \hrulefill\NL + +\Dings +\begin{multicols}{2} +\section*{\LaTeX{} fonts and graphics tutorial: a reminder} + +Two of the most important new features of \LaTeXe{} are its support +for fonts and graphics: no longer does \LaTeX{} have to mean Computer +Modern with {\tt picture} mode. +In this intensive one-day course, two of the authors of \LaTeXe{} will +provide a tutorial in \LaTeXe's fonts and graphics. Topics will +include: +\begin{itemize} +\item processing \LaTeXe{} documents; +\item selecting new fonts; +\item installing new fonts; +\item including graphics; and +\item using colour. +\end{itemize} + +The tutorial will be aimed at: +\emph{authors} who wish to learn the new LaTeX document + commands; +\emph{designers} who wish to write document classes or + packages using fonts, graphics and colour; and +\emph{system administrators} who wish to install and maintain + the new \LaTeX\ features. +It will include sessions hands-on at a keyboard, +and each attendee will have access to a Unix workstation. +The cost includes handouts, lunch and refreshments. + +The tutorial will be given on 11 July 1994, from 1100 (registration +and coffee from 1030) to 1700, at the Computer Laboratory, University +of Cambridge.
