AGM Summary

Hey all,

Thanks for those that attended the AGM last Friday. Sorry we overran by about 25 minutes,  I did my best to keep it within 2 hours but these things inevitably carry on a little bit. Hopefully it was enjoyable for all and thanks for all of your feedback from the year and ideas going forward – we appreciate it all (all the time) so if you’ve over thoughts then let me know. It is important that the committee represents the club so its up to you do ask stuff of us!

Please add comments to this forum topic: http://mohawks.co.uk/forum/post12906.html#p12906

Sorry about the lack of proper hyperlinks, just use your copy and paste functions. AND if your comments/thoughts are more specific then feel free to start a new topic on the Mohawk Discussion part of the forum.

One thing that you as members need to do is to nominate people to enter the Hall of Fame. If you’ve somebody in mind then please send them to me. If you are submitting somebody then please get a seconding (and a thirding I reckon) from people who agree with you that somebody should be included. Then the committee will vote on them and at the awards dinner announce who has been entered, with some sort of cap.

The email should be of this form:

I [your name], and [seconder’s/thirder’s names] would like to nominate [nominee’s name] to be entered into the Mohawks Hall of Fame.

The reasons are: bla bla bla

NB: I think we said that people entering the hall of fame should at least be leaving the club this year. Maybe we said a year AFTER they leave but that might be too long. So for now, don’t nominate anybody who is still going to be a student next year, but anybody leaving – feel free to nominate them! Or anybody who left a while back. I will let BU know soon, too.

That’s all from me for now. Congratulations and good luck new committee!

A message from your delighted President

I’m not quite sure where to begin with this email, to be honest. Words cannot quite sum up how happy I was the instant the Open team won nationals this weekend just gone, and then not 10 minutes later for the Women to follow suit. The pandemonium was beyond what I knew possible – huge congratulations to all. Oh, and my father says: “Jolly good”.

As Taxi has said – we are the best university club in the country right now and nobody can deny that. Other universities have had “their time” or something like that but right now the time is ours. What we have to do is make sure that we keep the time being ours for the foreseeable future…

For now though, revel in the glory of this victory for the club. It is everybody’s win, not just those playing or spectating or looking at Twitter – every Mohawk out there is a part of this monumental achievement. So to all of you: enjoy the moment and celebrate.

I remember after our successes of last season Beezer wrote something about the importance of just how great we are and it is the same again this year. We heard from the sideline at one point during the finals “are Mohawks going to win everything again?” Yep. To win both the Open and Women’s division after the hassle of getting to Manchester is nothing short of miraculous and I cannot congratulate everybody enough.

Words are failing me right now, I cannot quite take in what we’ve achieved this year so for now I am going to sit back and smile, safe in the knowledge that we are the best, and long may it continue. I am humbled to be a member of this club and so proud of everybody. Thank you all, so much.

Once a Mohawk. Always a Mohawk.

AGM Announcement

Hey Mohawks!

We have now decided on the Mohawks AGM 2012. It will be held on

Friday 27th April
7pm
Falmer House room 126 tbc

The AGM is not only my opportunity to talk lots as President but actually the most important date in the Mohawks calender, outside of competitions.

It is your opportunity to ask about how the club has been run over the last year or two and get your opinions across about how you might like the club to be in the coming year. The best way to do this is to run for one of the positions.

Currently our committee looks something like this:

• President
• Vice-President
• Open Captain
• Mixed Captian
• Women’s Captain
• Vice-Women’s Captain
• Social Secretary (times 2)
• Finance Officer
• Events
• Merchandise
• Webmaster (sort of)
• Coach (sort of)

Hopefully you have a good idea what each of the positions do, in a general sense. Just email the relevant committee member (most easily done from the committee page of the forum) to get more information about it, they’ll be more than happy to answer any questions.

If you want to be a captain then you *might* be leaving it a little late to apply but don’t let that put you off. Captains are decided by this year’s captains, the rest of the positions get decided by a vote at the AGM – so make sure you’re there to a) stand and b) vote! All club members get to vote, and should do. For all positions other than captains you can put yourself forward on the day of the AGM, so don’t necessarily feel you need to apply now, but it might help to get some info from the current member.

I believe that that is enough information for now. Please spread the word about the AGM and make sure you’re there. It’ll take a couple of hours I imagine BUT it is actually quite good fun.

And bring biscuits.
