Hi people,

Our constitution has finally been approved by the student union, which means that we will be going ahead with our IGM (Inaugural General Meeting) and official elections - and be well on our way to affiliation with the student union (UMSU)

Anyhoo, the details...

Meeting: Inaugural General Meeting (IGM)
Date: 1st September 2006 (Friday)
Time: 2.00pm
Venue: Undergraduate Room A (2nd floor of Union House, just opposite Rowden White)

Essentially, what we will be doing in the IGM is ratifying our club constitution and voting the official committee in. Any MoMU member from Melbourne University is free to run for the committee.

The committee positions up for grabs are as follows...

President (1)
Vice-President (1)

Oh and please do note that nominations for committee positions will be called out in the IGM, and no proxies are permitted (ie you have to be in the meeting in person if you wish to vote, or run for a position).

Also, even if you are not intending to run for any committee positions, just drop by and vote!!! C'mon and get involved in Malaysian politics. Also, it would be a great chance to get to know your committee members. Come la!!

So as a treat, MoMU has organized a FREE Welcome BBQ for all our new members.

Time : 12.30pm
Venue : Flagstaff Gardens BBQ Pit

For those who never been to Flagstaff like me, there are two maps linked for your convenience!

City Map - Flagstaff Gardens
Tear your eyes away from the big green patches, because Flagstaff Garden is not as big as Fitzroy and is located on the North Western area of the map.You can get there by hopping on a tram on La Trobe St.

BBQ Pit Location - Flagstaff Gardens
BBQ pit is the other dull yellow spot on the map, not the playground.

Interested yet?

It's a unique barbeque with a touch of Australian and Malaysian. Though we know that most of the guys would want to chat up the girls, there will be lots of food,games and prizes to aid your socializing skills and give all of you plenty of oppurtunities to get to know each other. Heck, we want to know you too!

Saturday, 12.30pm at Flagstaff Gardens, bring your friends!

Even if they are not members yet, they can always sign up at our recruitment booth on Saturday as well as throughout the week at Union House.

Interested now?

Please sent a RSVP including your name and contact number to club_momu@yahoo.com.auso we can feed you properly :D
