Dear Postgraduates,
The Postgraduate & Mature Students Association (PGMSA) is holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday 16th November at 6pm in Nuffield G22. We would like to invite all Postgraduate and Mature students to come along, find out a bit more about the association, and potentially run for a position.
There are several positions up for election:

*Chair*
*Treasurer*
*Secretary*
*Postgraduate Taught Officer*
*Postgraduate Research Officer*
*Mature Students Officer*
*Welfare & Housing Officer*
*Promotions/social secretary*

You can find about these positions on the Facebook group (below) or by emailing
e.halford@guild.bham.ac.uk.
In addition to the AGM, we meet every week at the same time (Wednesday 6pm) in Nuffield G22, and this is followed by a social in Staff House from 7pm. This is a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people and to discuss issues related to Postgraduate and Mature students. We are currently planning lots great events, including a speed dating event.
