Secretary Manifesto(s) by Acting Secretary - Tue 22nd Apr 2003, 3:28pm
My Manifesto:

I will sort out a cheap dinner, and generally run the club, as well as doing all the other things a secretary should do.

Matt Byrne

John Earl
Secretary

Paper is important.
I have a computer. With spreadsheets.
My name is John.

I'm sorry, I need a bank-steerer?

John Earl

p.s. remember to vote for me

If elected, I'll

* refuse to pay the 'excessive bank party' fine for M1 in the Lents

* get the wall-sit and doughnut challenges written into the constitution

* find anagrams of everyone's names for the Mays Dinner place cards.

In the process, I'll

* sort out the club's financial arrangements properly to ensure that the
disasters of previous years never recur

* write full notes on all aspects of the boat club to ensure that
inexperienced committee members are not thrown in at the deep end and that
we attain greater continuity from year to year

* distribute minutes of committee meetings (including the current back-log
if possible).

Finally, I'll

* remain unbeaten in the City Sprints

* insist on Crème Brulée at the dinner

* do everything at the last minute. But I'll do it.

I think we should run the election as a Caucus-race...


'..."What I was going to say," said the Dodo in an offended tone, "was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race."

"What is a Caucus-race?" said Alice; not that she much wanted to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that somebody ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything.

"Why," said the Dodo, "the best way to explain it is to do it."

First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle ("the exact shape doesn't matter," it said), and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no "One, two, three, and away," but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out "The race is over!" and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, "But who has won?"

This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence. at last the Dodo said, "Everybody has won, and all must have prizes."...'


This would fill up the hour and a half that the election is scheduled to last. Of course everybody standing would have to go sculling first so that they needed to get dry.
