most insane cases for one of the most fun tournaments of the year.

Please note that this is a self-funded tournament with a

*End of Year Meetings*
With the academic year winding down before exams and everyone
getting busy finishing off those last few assignments, we will be
scaling back our meetings to one per week. Starting this week,
meetings will be held on *Fridays at 4pm in 405 Dunton Tower*. We
will not be holding Tuesday meetings for the rest of the semester.
*Annual General Meeting*
The end of the year also means that we will be having our Annual
General Meeting on *April 6 at 6pm in 520 Southam Hall*. We will be
discussing constitutional and by-law amendments, executives will
give their year-end reports, and elections for next years elections
will take place. All paid members of the club are eligible to vote,
but all are welcome to attend. With a new student levy on the books
next year, this year's AGM will be important in determining club
policy for future years.
For those considering running for an executive position, we request
you post a platform on CUSIDnet at
http://www.cusid.ca/community/viewforum.php?f=29. See
http://www.carletondebate.org/cusidnet for information on how to get
access.
If you cannot make the meeting, we will allow proxy votes.
For more information visit http://www.carletondebate.org/agm. The
website includes election platforms and the agenda for the meeting.
If you have any questions, or wish to propose a motion, feel free to
contact the Executive at exec(a)carletondebate.org.
