Electoral politics, Happy absence of

Last night was SocT's AGM. After a lot of pre-chatter concerning Thursday night's play and subjects of broad and specific interest, the AGM was finally launched by CJ - and to my surprise and delight (old Doctor Who fans will have worrying intimations of Hawaiian shirts at this point) I was elected a Society Hero, following a nomination by footnotetoplato and a flattering speech by narahttbbs. cealdis will be president in 2007/8, osymandias secretary, and AG (no LJ) treasurer.

After the voting, and while food was being consumed (Many, many brownies, but not as many as I could have eaten...) I talked to Mrs exactlyhalf about Australian history in TGW, moving to Oxford and the problems and advantages of being on the fringes of the university without being quite of it, hovered for a little around the banquet planning group - what, they want to know, is pellegrina's lamb? - and discussed folk music with shanith, before walking back with aster_dw and colinbj. A good evening.
