Being in the golf society this year I have been struck with how welcoming everybody has been. I think it is very important for societies to not only focus on playing the sport that we all love but also to build friendships through social events.

I have been playing golf since I was 5, so it has been a massive part of my life! However, I realise how daunting golf can be to pick up at uni and through social events I believe we can build motivation and commitment. 

As a member of the competitive team I think that I am well suited to the role to aim to bring the competitive and social members together. My favourite event this year was the scramble where I was able to share my passion for golf with less experienced players. I also really enjoyed the Christmas pot luck!

Alongside golf I am a member of the women's football team and have a friend who is the 'potential' social secretary of the women's basketball team. I think that it is important to have joint socials with other sports teams because we are a relatively small society, this would allow us to recruit more members and promote our society. It would be amazing to get more girls playing as well!

I was especially impressed by how well run the social media was this year and how clear the events were. This is very important at the start of the year when freshers have a lot going on!

As we are such a young society, I would be so happy to be social secretary in the aim of shaping what our society may become in the future.
