Election post
Sebastian Goodbody
Over the past year, playing for LUSL and attending socials has been a rewarding experience. As a fresher, I know how daunting it can be to join a new society. At my first social, I spent most of the evening trying to disguise the fact that I had completely forgotten the dress theme. That nervousness quickly faded when senior committee members—President Ollie and Social Secretary Addy—introduced themselves and struck up a conversation. From then on, I felt at ease, and understood the impact a friendly and approachable committee can have.
This experience has inspired me to run for Welfare Secretary. I believe that this society should be more than just a shared interest, it should be a supportive and inclusive space where members can escape the pressures of university life. The tennis society has given me that sense of belonging, and I want to ensure others feel the same.
If elected, I will prioritize making everyone feel welcome, whether they're seasoned players or complete beginners. I will be an approachable point of contact for any welfare concerns, so that every member can enjoy their time in the society without worry.
