Climbing and Mountaineering Club: Social Secretary

As I will be heading into the final year of my PhD, I was initially pretty hesitant about running for committee. 

But then the more I thought about it, I figured that - let’s face it - I’m probably going to be just as involved with the society as a whole whether I apply or not, so why not give it a go???

But actually, I think that I would make a good social secretary as I generally have a good relationship with everyone in the society, and consider myself pretty approachable. As well as organising socials (obviously), I believe a good social sec should be able to make sure newer members also feel welcome, and I think I have the easy-going attitude to perfectly suit that responsibility and create an environment where people can be ‘social’ x

I am pretty present and involved in the society in general too, so I’ll be there to make sure everyone is comfortable and having fun. 

100% not just in it for the free committee T-shirt I swear. Terms and conditions apply, shoey’s not included. 

lots of love,

I don't have the time / am too lazy to create a slacklining society so I apply here to organize slacklining socials (and probably some climbing ones).

I’ve had a great time at the club this year and I’ve met so many great people. I’d like to develop the social scene a bit so more people in the club can enjoy their time here, as I have been. 

When we went on the trip to Portland, I felt so welcomed by everyone. The company I had and the games we played really helped to break the ice. The table traverse was a personal favourite. Shamefully, I’ve unsuccessfully tried to ‘traverse’ around my table at home 4 times times since coming back from Portland. I’d like to bring this playful aspect of trips to the social side of climbing.

I will organise socials that create an environment to engage hardcore trad climbers and newbie boulderers alike. One idea I’ve had is a club trip to Ninja Warrior uk. It’d be pretty funny watching everyone try their luck on the ‘Warped Wall’.

I’m committed to the role and willing to put some time into planning events. If you like the sound of these sort of socials, or just like the pub, vote for me!
