Mayhem Theatre Company AGM 2024 and forming the Members Committee for 2024-2025

Mayhem is a members-led company, run by a group of dedicated Mayhemmers who form the Members Committee, and support the day to day running of the company. Each year, at our Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Committee for the following 12 months is elected by current members. 

The 2024 AGM will take place on Friday 4th October at 7pm.

Address: The Sultan (upstairs meeting room), 78 Norman Road, London, SW19 1BT
Nearest tube: South Wimbledon / Colliers Wood

Nearest train: Wimbledon / Haydons Road
​


Please read on below for all the information on how to attend and vote at the AGM (and post-AGM social drinks!), and how to nominate yourself to join the committee!


How the Committee is formed:

The Committee must comprise of, at minimum, three people in the following roles: Company Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Business Manager. These positions are supported by other members in a variety of roles. The duties of these roles include many things to help run an amateur theatre company, whether that be organising fundraising and social events, being a liaison with creative teams, getting involved with marketing and social media, being the go-to person for members, getting stuck in with tech or production details and lots more!

For the 2024-2025 Committee Elections, we are proposing an updated way to run for roles. This is to allow the incoming Committee to shape themselves based on the skills of Committee Members.

What does this mean?
This will mean that you can run for the specific roles of: Company Chairperson, Vice Chairperson or Business Manager, or, you can run to join the Committee overall as a General Member.
As the new Committee is formed, the roles and responsibilities will be divided and decided between the Committee members. 


We are proposing this change to the formulation of the Committee to allow each incoming Committee member to get involved across a range of roles , this can be based on their strengths, interests, experiences and needs of the society. There are many ‘cogs’ in a Committee ‘machine’, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved!


You can find more information on the roles and responsibilities of the current Committee structure by clicking here.
This will give an idea of the scope of the current responsibilities, however these will be subject to updating/shifting as the incoming Committee is elected.


You don’t need to have prior experience to run for a role. There are of course some roles where any skills such as loving creating a good spreadsheet, masterminding projects, event planning to your heart's content or getting creative on social media will lend themselves naturally - but being committed, willing to get involved, bringing ideas and enthusiasm is truly the heart of what makes a Committee tick, and to have a successful year!
