Hi, all
As previously advised, ASC’s national Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 16 December at 6pm, at the Clarendon Hotel, 156 Devonshire St, Surry Hills in New South Wales.
Please take this opportunity to have your say in your ASC, and to help shape the activities and direction of our organisation and catch up with other members.
If you wish to add an item for discussion at the AGM (including a notice of motion) or to nominate yourself or someone else for the role of ASC President, please email me (meg.rive@csiro.au) by COB Thursday 10 December. Please include your ASC member number (if you know it). Note that notices of motion require a proposer and a seconder, and nominations for President need to be agreed by the nominee.
I will circulate the agenda to the ASC-list and call for proxies a week before the AGM.
The AGM will be followed by a rollicking Science Trivia event (details below).
Cheers
Meg

ASC AGM (national) and Science Trivia Night – or a ‘deep and meaningful discussion followed by laughs and prizes’ 6.00 pm, 16 December 2009 Clarendon Hotel, 156 Devonshire St, Surry Hills NSW 2010 ASC members free, non-members $5 for Science Trivia event
This year economic gloom and then glimmer has strangled the media of most other matters. It is up to us to grasp back the garrotte and grapple with where the truly wild things are – in the thickets and imagination of science communication.
We commence our quest in Sydney by inviting you to attend the national ASC AGM. In this tightly run and quick moving meeting all will be revealed about the past year’s activities at the national level and we divine the portents for the year to come. Of course the AGM itself is a portent – of elections (details to be announced soon).
The national AGM is a very important event in the ASC year. You get a chance to hear and talk about how the year has gone across the country, receive reports from the president and the treasurer, elect the new president and put forward your ideas about what we should be doing in the year ahead …the “big picture” stuff. NSW is the biggest ASC branch, and so it is the right place for all this to be happening. You will also hear about plans for our forthcoming national conference. Be there.
RSVP: Meg Rive, meg.rive@csiro.au, 0438 007 301
But wait there is more!
The Science Trivia Night will follow closely on the breeze of the fast moving AGM. This hotly contested, controversial fun event will be compered by quiz master David Ellyard. Prizes – there will be many, Challenges – even more, Laughter – abundant, Beer – on tap, Wine – from bottles!
When: 7.30 pm for Science Trivia event, 16 December 2009 Where: Clarendon Hotel, 156 Devonshire St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Tel: (02) 9699 6001 Who: ASC members for AGM which starts at 6.00pm; everyone invited to Science Trivia event from 7.30pm How much: ASC members free, non-members $5 for Science Trivia event Why: reflection, insight, and to find out who is the science trivia maven of 2009. Also tasty nibbles provided. RSVP: Meg Rive, meg.rive@csiro.au, 0438 007 301
Cheers, Jesse

As if you needed more temptation to attend ASC’s national AGM on Wednesday 16 December in Surry Hills, I neglected to note in my email below that tasty nibbles will be on offer and ASC will shout members attending the AGM a drink (hurrah!).
And please also note that I would appreciate your agenda additions, notices of motion and presidential nominations by COB Wednesday 9 December (not Thursday 10 December as advised below) – apologies for the confusion.
Cheers
Meg
