Hi Chaps and Chapesses,

Once again it is time for the incredibly unmissable Canoe and Canoe Polo Club elections!

Precise detiails will follow nearer the time, but they will be held at:

Robbins Well, Leamington
Thursday Week 10 <=> 13th March 2008

This is your chance to stand for any position in either club, but even if you don’t, please come anyway. You get to choose who runs your club next year, and it is a really fun night anyway.

There is a list of positions and descriptions of each role on the Website, at http://www.warwickcanoe.co.uk/site/execpositions/. If you want a better idea of what each position involves, just talk to the current occupant.

For those who are not standing, you need not read on, but for the rest of you…

If you want to stand for an exec position next year, you need to write yourself a joke and a poem/song, which you will use to persuade people to vote for you. It doesn't have to be as good as Chaucer or Billy Connoly, but it has to be entertaining.

You then need to nominate yourself by e-mailing
(for Canoe) or
(for Polo)
with your name and the position you want to run for. (For joint positions, please e-mail both addresses.)

You can also stand at the start of the meeting, but it would be really helpful to know beforehand if you have decided. You may stand for more than one position, but if elected, you will be removed from the nominations for all remaining positions for that club.

The positions will be voted on in the following order:

• Canoe/Polo President
• Canoe Vice President (new this year)
  
• Canoe/Polo Secretary
• etc.

In alphabetical order, each candidate for the position being voted on will say their joke and poem/song. Club members may then vote.

If you are unable to attend the elections, but wish to stand for a position anyway, please e-mail your nomination, as above, and nominate someone who is attending to read them out. Please also make sure they have a copy of your joke and poem. The deadline for this is Monday Week 10 (10th March 2008).

We hope to see you all there. Much joy and cheerfulness from your very outgoing Presidents,
