 An AGM, or Annual General Meeting, must be held in Term 2 by every society. It's not always called that, but it's meant to be an event where the society looks back on the year's events, and looks forward to how it wants to plan things in the future.

+This is a great event, and can be quite entertaining. At the AGM we do 5 things:
 
 - the annual report (exec talk for a really long time about all the events we ran)
 - run society elections (hopeful exec talk for a really long time about events they want to run ~~but won't get round to~~)
 - vote on motions (~~idiots~~ members request **normal** things of a computing society and there is *NO* joking about)
 - spend all of our sponsor money on pizza
+- get kicked out of the room by Community Safety because they want to close the building
 
 Why are we doing this? Because we're a Warwick SU society and have to follow [Regulation 9](https://www.warwicksu.com/your-union/how-the-su-works/governingdocuments/), and also because it would also be really nice to have an exec for next year.

 ### Voting
 
 We use the STV, or [Single Transferable Vote](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote) system. For each position, you can rank as many candidates as you want in order of preference. The system works in elimination rounds. If your preferred candidate is eliminated, your vote will be transferred to your next non-eliminated preference until a single candidate remains.
 
-You can also vote to Re-Open Nominations, by selecting a candidate affectionately labeled as RON. Note that RON is an active vote against any candidates below that option, so you should only use RON if you feel the alternative really is that bad.
