The AGM will be held on Wednesday 4th of March in the Guild Council Chambers from 6pm

It's really important that as many of you as possible come to this. It is where you will decide who runs the club next year.

Candidates will need to be nominated and seconded by members of the club. There will be a round of speeches on why you would be the best person for that position and a round of questions will follow.

Once this has finished candidates will leave the room and the vote will take place. ALL VOTES WILL BE ANONYMOUS.

UBMC Committee Positions

supports the rest of the committee and generally oversees everything that goes on.
Talk to: Mark

Vice-President
(Executive Position)
Works closely with the president in the role of generally looking after everything and acts as
deputy to the president should he or she not be available for any reason. The VP is also
responsible for running Pembroke, the clubs health&safety and any training courses we run.
Talk to: Tommy

Treasurer
(Executive Position)
Responsible for keeping track of the UBMC money – a very important role. The guild provides

methodical approach and good attention to detail help.

aren’t available. Records membership details and deals with the BMC.

to go. They are also responsible for running Stanage and the Annual Dinner.

Gear Secs (2 positions)
Responsible for buying, maintaining and retiring all the club gear as well as ensuring gear is
available for trips and Wednesday afternoons.

related events that they want to bring in.
Talk to: Alice

Indoor Sec
Responsible for running our competitions, both the annual SCIUBL and BUSA and random
inter university ones that are run at their discretion, also organises the Munrow sessions in
the first term and any trips to other indoor walls around the country.

Get involved guys, we really want you guys to come along! If you're thinking of running for any committee positions and want to know what its like then we'll be happy to talk to you about it

oow, it'll be sad to leave...but exiting to see the competition!

do seriously consider running for a position on the committee. it is a really rewarding experience, you're directly involved in the club, decision making and there are loads of perks too. the time and effort commitment is not really as large as you think; few hours a week may be and a day for 2 for the trip you'll run. it looks great on cv / applications forms for the near future and can provide great answers to those annoying competency base questions companies ask you.

the club depends on enthusiastic people to continue on and provide new people with opportunity of climbing past committees have enabled us to have.

VP '08-'09

Even if for some crazy reason you dont want to run for a position then come along anyway.
If you are a member of the club then you have a vote and therefore a say in who should run the club.

Honestly though being on committee is ace and I would recommmend it to everyone!

Hi all,

My apologies for not being able to go to the AGM this year! I shall be working until the wee hours at the NEC getting ready for crufts, which starts thursday. Extremely annoying, but I can't afford to miss out on it! Good luck to anyone running for a position, and if anyone wants to come and buy doggy goods off of me I shall give any UBMC member a nice fat discount. Hall 2, "Dirca Design" stand- be there.

Love to you all,

Jimmy.
