Election post
Hi All! I’m running to be next year’s Treasurer, helping to keep the club’s finances running smoothly, maximising the number of residentials we can get and ensuring the Walk Leaders are reimbursed!
Excited for more residentials?
I’m eager to find a club sponsor, helping to support us financially (offering advertising opportunities in return) and making sure that we have more left in the bank when it comes to Residentials. Striking a deal with the Youth Hostel Association (YHA) who we usually use for our trips may also help us save in the long term.
Last year, we were able to secure a 10% discount from Cotswolds for our members. If elected, I’ll make sure to reach out to Trespass, The North Face, Go Outdoors, Millets and other outdoors companies and find those discounts so that you get really high value for membership!
As the current club Secretary, I’ve launched the First Ever Inter-University Team Hiking Competition (to be held in June annually) which will bring together all the things that I’m passionate about: orienteering, camping and most importantly hiking! As Treasurer, I’ll make sure that this event continues to grow and becomes one of the highlights of our Hiking Calendar!
As Treasurer, my ethos would be simple:
Money = More Residentials = More Hiking = More FUN!!!
I’ve outlined just a few ideas about how I hope to improve the club, and with your support I hope to share and implement them with the next committee!
