\centerline{at Aston University, Birmingham, U.K.}
\bigskip}

\sect{SPEAKERS}
The speakers will include a selection of the legendary
`Aston Archivists' (identifiable by the exclusive
Archivist sweat shirts). These include Peter Abbott,
founder and godfather of the Archive, Brian $\{$Hamilton
Kelly$\}$, VMS editors wizard and \TeX\ the program
supremo, Adrian (no relation) Clark, server to the gentry,
Dave Osborne, sometime UK\TeX\ editor, Sebastian (no UK
\TeX\ Users Group would be complete without) Rahtz, and
Philip Taylor, \ae sthete and Archive mapper. Other more
shadowy figures from the Archive group may also be present.
\sect{MEETING DETAILS}
The meeting will be held in Room 708, Main Building, Aston University.
The AGM will commence at 11.00$\,$am, with coffee available from
10.30$\,$o'clock. There will be a break for lunch, after which the
Archivist Meeting will start -- it is expected that the meeting will
finish around 5.00$\,$pm. There will be a charge for the meeting of \quid10
for members of \uktug, and \quid15 for non-members. Details and booking
form are provided overleaf. {\bf There is no charge for those attending {\bf
only} the Annual General Meeting.}
\sect{DIRECTIONS}
\vskip-\parskip\smallskip
{\parindent50pt
\desc{By train:}
To Birmingham New Street Station. After passing the ticket barrier go up
the escalator opposite, turn left and walk through the shopping area,
and down a ramp into Corporation Street. Walk along Corporation Street
(two underpasses) and across the road where the QE II Law Courts are
on the right. At the end of the street (which turns back on itself)
is a grassy bank on the right, and a subway. The fire station (white
tower with a defunct clock) and the campus can be seen across the road
to the right. Take the subway to the University campus, and follow
the signposts to the Main Building.
\desc{By car:}
From the M6 leave at junction 6, the A38(M). Follow the signs
to the end of the expressway ({\sc do not} follow the signs to Aston --
this is a district of Birmingham, {\sc not} the University). At the end
of the expressway move to the left hand lane (do not go over the flyover).
Drive past the fire station and the first road, but turn into the
slip road signposted to the University car park. Park on the
visitors car park, and walk across the campus to the Main Building.
\par}
Once at the Main Building, room 708 will be signposted from the entrance.
\sect{NOMINATIONS FOR THE UK \TeX\ USERS GROUP}
The Annual General Meeting of \uktug, together with an election of
committee members, will begin at 11.00$\,$am. A separate form,
accompanying these meeting details may be used to nominate
committee members for \uktug.
In order to submit nominations, you {\sl must} be a member of \uktug.

The annual fee for membership
of \uktug\ is \quid15. The membership year runs from January 1st to
December 31st, but members joining after 1st October will have their
membership extended to the end of 1991. However, those taking advantage of
this facility will not be eligible to vote at the 1990 AGM. Membership
allows a \quid5 reduction in the admission charge per meeting. In addition,
members may nominate committee members of \uktug\ (details below).
Students in full time education are entitled to a 50\% reduction in the
membership fee.

Dear Member\\[12pt]
Please find enclosed the following items:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Invitation to our October meeting which will include the Annual
general meeting (AGM) of the group.
\item Information about other activities planned for the next few months.
\item A draft agenda for the AGM
\item A report balance sheet and the audited accounts of the group up
to 31 July 1990.
\item The Draft Constitution which the committee has approved and
which we hope will be adopted at the AGM.
%\item % anything else MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM/PPPPPPPPPPP
\end{enumerate}
The Draft Constitution contains the following clauses:
17. The annual general meeting of The Uk \TeX\ Users Group shall be
held not later than the last day of
November %%CAR
in each year on a date and at a
time to be fixed by the Committee at least 35 days in advance for the
following purposes---
(1) to receive from the Committee a report balance sheet and statement of
accounts for the proceeding financial year
(2) to fill the vacancies in the Committee and to elect auditors for the
ensuing year
(3) to decide on any resolution which may be submitted to the meeting in the
manner provided below
(4) to fix the entrance fee (if any) and annual subscription
\newpage
18. \ Any member desirous of moving any resolution at the
annual general meeting shall give notice in writing to the secretary not
later than 14 days before the date of such meeting
I think that Clauses 17(3) and 18 are self-explanatory.
As regards the election of Committee members, since 6 of its 9 elected
members are
retiring (all of these 6 are eligible for re-election), Clause 9
implies that there are up to 9
vacancies to be filled.
The following parts of Clause 10 describe the procedure for
filling these vacancies:
(3) Any two members may
nominate any member or members of the group
to fill any of
the vacancies by giving at least seven days notice in writing to the
secretary
(4) If there are more nominations than vacancies then the membership
will be decided by an election by single transferable vote in which
every member of the group
present at the annual general meeting
shall be entitled but not obliged to vote.
I shall be happy to accept nominations in accordance with these
sub-clauses: no more than 9 from any one person, please, and it would
help me a lot if you could enclose confirmation from the nominee that
they are willing to serve (subject to their being elected!).
\vspace{24pt}
Yours sincerely

\sect{The Program}
The meeting is intended to introduce the Aston Archivists
to the \uktug. The meeting will take the form of a group
of short talks by some of the Archivists on particular
aspects of the Archive. Then all available Archivists
will take part in a panel discussion where they will
invite questions, comments and discussion from the floor.
It is hoped that this will generate some positive
feedback for the Archive group, and may make the use of
the Archive a little simpler. You may also find out the
constraints the Archivists are working under, and perhaps
better understand why it isn't quite perfect (!), yet.
Still the Aston Archive is the biggest and best of all
the \TeX\ archives world-wide. Help us make it better.
Your comments are welcome, be they derogatory or even
complimentary.
\sect{The Speakers}
\halign{\strut#\hfill\enspace&\vtop{\hsize4.75truein\noindent#\strut}\cr
Peter Abbott&The founder of the Aston Archive, Peter's
canny touch has enabled it to progress along an apparently
smooth path. He will be describing the `new' hardware
which is now available to the Archive, and some future
plans and proposals for hardware.\cr
Brian Hamilton Kelly&Best known to many for his
unhyphenated hyphenated name and his outrageous bow ties,
Brian has created some neat hooks for all sorts of Vax
editors from \TeX-on-VMS (anyone remember {\sc teco}?).
Brian is also responsible for {\tt autodoc}, an excellent
tool easing the documentation of style (and other) files.
He has worked extensively on the current \TeX\ server at
Aston, and will talk about the encoding options which are
being developed to handle the legendary character mangling
of the Rutherford gateway.\cr
Adrian Clark&Adrian is well-known for his work with half
tone images and his work with VMS \TeX. Now exiled to a
Sun workstation, he still manages to develop \TeX\ server
software and will be discussing both the current Aston
server and the recently announced Utah {\tt tuglib}
server described by Nelson Beebe, TUG President.\cr
Dave Osborne&Yet another Unix-hacker, Dave recently
volunteered to `edit' the UK\TeX\ listings. In one heroic
session he managed to put the digest together, and
mail it out, while still at the Cork conference. He will
describe the work involved, partly in the hope that some
others of the \uktug\ membership might be stimulated to
step forward and volunteer for the editorship at some
time.\cr
Sebastian Rahtz&Perhaps best known for the good looking,
stylish, hard wearing and incredibly reasonably priced
`\TeX\ Archive of the United Kingdom' sweat shirts. In
keeping with his calling as archaeologist, Sebastian will
present `gleanings from the Archive'.\cr
Philip Taylor&A plain man, Philip will present a map
of the Archive, and may offer some hints on how to
navigate around it, and even how to find some of the
stuff you always wanted but never knew how to locate.\cr

This group believes that the divisive nature of national \TeX\
User groups which operate independently of TUG is both inappropriate
and unnecessary, and instructs the UK \TeX\ Users' Group Committee
to open negotations with TUG with a view to obtaining much closer
affiliation. The Committee should seek an agreement with TUG
whereby membership of UK-TuG(sic) automatically implied membership
of TUG (whether full or associate membership could be the subject
of negotation), and whereby UK-TuG(sic) members were automatically
entitled to the rights and privileges of TUG membership. The
Committee, in their negotations, should bear in mind that the
major cost element of TUG membership covers the production and
distribution costs of TUGboat, and may wish to negotiate two
classes of membership, whereby members of UK-TuG could elect
not to receive a personal copy of TUGboat, thereby qualifying
for a significant reduction in membership fee.
\end{quote}
\item Any Other Business
\end{enumerate}
There will be PCs available for archive material. Please bring your own
disks (3.5" or 5.25").
To save time please let Peter Abbott know in advance,
if possible, which
files you want. Arrangements will then be made to have the files loaded on the
hard
disks. There will be a computer link to the archive and a sales desk for Disk
s and TUG materials.
