Signing up at the door of the EGM
As of now, that is POSSIBLE
HOWEVER, we are appealing for you NOT to do that because:
1. The poor staff (they are NOT the Exco, please don’t torture them) will be overwhelmed
2. The registration might eat into the meeting time, reducing the time available for Q & A
3. The New Exco might change their mind on this policy at the last minute — let’s NOT risk it
4. You might be stopped from voting based on technicality : for not RSVPing by 22nd Apr
5. You have to come early to get a seat
