Hello ladies and gentlemen! Its that exciting time of year when elections are held to decide which of you fabulous people will take over from the current committee... So, what you need to do is have a little read of the position descriptions below and decide if there is something you want to run for. If you decide that you are the next bossy President, slightly tipsy Social Secretary or super organised Secretary, then send your nomination to the club email: [email protected] as soon as possible. In your nomination you need to include the following: which position you want to run for and a 100-150 word manifesto as to why you want this position. This is dead easy so dont stress over it!! The deadline for your nomination is 9pm Friday 21st March 2014 - this is so that I can send the manifestos out to the club to read :) It also gives me time to see what positions may not be filled and - crucially - print off voting cards! The elections will be held in the committee room in the students union at 5pm sharp on Wednesday 26th March. (Following our Varsity competition, so Claire, wed better make sure we run to time!!) Each candidate will have to make a short speech outlining why they feel they are correct for the position and possibly answer a question or two. There will be a social following this, so everyone can celebrate the best club in Aber! Please note that only paid club members are eligible to vote in the election and run for positions. And I have a list, so I can and will stop you voting if you havent paid either form of membership! I would just like to thank my committee this year as every single one of them has worked their socks off whenever I have needed them to. They – and the rest of you – have made my time as President not only worth it but fully enjoyable! If you are on the fence about trying out for a position...go for it. It will be the best decision you ever made. Positions are as follows: (adapted from our constitution, so they are very formally worded!) President The President is the main contact point for external communications with all external groups and individuals. They are also responsible for the smooth and effective running of the committee and the club, and shall be the final arbitrageur of disputes amongst the committee. (You get the final say!) They are responsible for creating the best environment for the committee and other members to operate in. They must ensure the general health and direction of the club is in accordance with the views of its members. The President is also responsible for organising lessons in the first instance and organising all club hacks and internal competitions.
