Hi everyone, As detailed in Charlotte's last e-mail the Cinema AGM is to be held today in SAC Meeting Room 6 at 18:00. I hope you are all planning to attend but if not please be aware that as long as you are a member of Cinema Soc you can send your vote to the DPCS account and it will be considered. The manifestos I have received are below but please be aware that as yet we have no candidates for the positions of Treasurer Secretary Assistant Junior Treasurer Box Office Manager Vice Chair so these positions will be open to nominations from the floor. I hope to see you all there and please make sure that any electronic votes are with me by 17:30 at the latest. Publicity Officer - Matthew Colvin Hi there! I'm moving into my second year now and while I may not have had any experience with how the cinema has been run in the past (or its strengths and weaknesses), I'm really excited about the chance of helping out at this excellent venue. I believe that due to my lack of experience I'd be more suited to a assistant position, but that in no way means I'd put any less effort in. As for what I could bring to the role, I feel that my interests in the media sections of Imperial could be vital in ensuring that the cinema's profile is kept high in college life. I regularly contribute articles for the student newspaper Felix and have helped out with Stoic TV as well. I'd be very interested in playing a part in publicising the return of the cinema and hope that I'll be able to put my skills to great use. Chair - Chandana Shankar Hi I'm Chandana and I'd like to be Cinema Soc's chair. I've been involved with the club's revival from the first meeting and have been treasurer up until now so I have a good idea of what needs doing to get the Cinema up and running again. At the moment I've got three main objectives: 1. Get the booth in workable condition as soon as possible so that we can start training projectionists. 2. Give everyone who's interested a chance to train as a projectionist. 3. Let people know the Cinema is active again. Our success as a club depends on lots of people turning up to showings so I'd work closely with the publicity officers to advertise the Cinema to the student body. I've also got plenty of other ideas but 150 words aren't quite enough to detail them all! Sorry I can't be there on the 23rd but I'll be back in September and would very much like to take up Cinema's reins! Projectionist - Kadhim Shubber "Hi, I'm Kadhim the Felix Editor for the coming year. I don't have any prior experience but I love films and anything retro so I'm really excited about getting involved with CineSoc. I would love to be a projectionist. I'm a quick learner and I although I'll be quite busy one or two nights a week, say on a Wednesday evening with Felix, I'm more than happy to give up my spare time." Apologies that this was sent so late I hope you still have long enough to deliberate.
