I have been with RAX since the beginning of 2022, with my passion for running and athletics stemming from being a competitive athlete throughout secondary school. I initially joined RAX due to wanting to partake in the Social Runs and I really enjoyed getting to know the other students.
I have stood as interim social secretary since Term 2 and have become familiar with the organisational and financial aspect of the role. My first aim for RAX next year is improving inclusivity. Currently, there is a lack of focus on the Athletics side of the club, which don’t have many socials organised after their events. I want to ensure that Running, Athletics and Cross Country all receive the same amount of dedication and time. Furthermore, there is a serious lack of union within the club. I want to bring together all aspects of the club, with larger socials that can enable for the 3 groups to meet and learn from each other. Secondly, I want to provide more variety to the socials. Currently, the socials have been repeated or very similar. Proving variety to the socials will cause more people to engage with the socials. I want to organise socials that include trying different sports and involve more collaboration with other societies, such as hiking, tennis or swimming. I want to provide more non-alcoholic socials, such as coffee socials, pizza/ pancake making socials, quiz night and karaoke as well as alcoholic socials at the Phineas and the IOE bar.
Overall, I think RAX has a huge amount of potential, with the Social Runs often
