I’m running for social events sec because I enjoyed taking on this rule during Covid but would love the chance to actually organise in-person socials! We had to be really creative to get people to come to weekly zoom socials, so I would hope to bring some of that creativity to the role again this year. If you've met me I hope you'll agree I'm friendly and approachable and have been inclusive to all new members of the club. I'm also pretty sociable and like to have a good time, especially if there's joss involved!
I’ve been acting as interim social sec since reading week, and I have organised fun and varied socials during this time, including ice skating and a Christmas quiz joint with surf society. I would want to keep arranging creative socials for Wednesday nights next term. I have also been in touch with different companies to secure us the best venue for boat ball. If I were elected, I would hope to increase social membership to the club by keeping people involved after ski trip. For example, I want to finish organising boat ball so we can promote it to members on trip. I also want to organise some more non-drinking socials, including trampolining socials to get the freestylers more involved. I've got some fun ideas for trip, such as having a list of challenges members can complete throughout the week.
I've really enjoyed being interim social sec so I hope you will vote for me so I can continue organising more events for the society next term!
