> Subject: Wake-up call. Where to next for WLUG?
> Hi WLUG members
>
> Most members of the committee are retiring or leaving. Nobody has
> definitely indicated they are willing to stand again. I am President
> of the PC Computer Club so I am willing to stand again for Committee
> only, and only if we can get the support of members.
> We need a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and 3
> committee members to continue as an incorporated society.
>
> What do you want WLUG to do in the future?
> What activities should we focus on? What else should we be doing? What
> will get your support and continued membership?
> Should we concentrate mainly on technical skills, or promoting
> FOSS/Linux to a wider audience, or both?
>
> The membership has dwindled somewhat, as have our finances, due to
> reduced membership and to Software Freedom Day expenses being higher
> than planned (liability insurance etc).
>
> Should we continue as an incorporated society or become an informal
> group with shared interests or disband altogether? Unless we get
> enough people coming forward to hold office and continue membership
> we will have no choice but to disband.
>
> For a quorum we need 50% of the membership or 15 members to attend, so
> come to the AGM which will decide these matters. Let us know what you
> what you want WLUG to do and what you can do to contribute to the
> future of WLUG.
>
> According to the charter only those people who were paid members in a
> previous financial year (not necessarily for the 2010 year) and who
> have signed a membership form for the next financial year will be
> considered eligible to vote at the AGM.
