Dear all,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce to you the resignation of Wu
Jiaxi, Treasurer of the 33rd ICSS Executive Committee.
The official resignation letter can be found here
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5xbg67ByqYTMnJESGZCNHZ3eFk/view?usp=shari…>.
After reading the letter, I hope that everyone can better understand the
predicament Jiaxi is in, and the reasons for her absence in most
activities.
When Jiaxi first made known to us about her thoughts of resignation during
summer, we tried our best to alleviate her workload such that she can focus
on catching up with her studies. However, even then, she still finds it
difficult to juggle her academics and Exco commitments. This eventually led
to her final decision to resign, despite much persuasion for her to stay.
It is a decision that we have to accept and respect.
In her absence since post-UKBound, I have taken over her treasurer duties
and made sure that the Singapore account is accurate and up-to-date. Jiaxi
had tried her best to help me verify the accounts, which I am very grateful
for. At the moment, I handle all the UK accounts, with constant vetting by
my Exco members to ensure that there are no errors.
However, moving forward, our Exco had unanimously decided that it is
unfeasible for me to handle both the President and Treasurer’s duties,
especially with the upcoming Major Event. Thus, it would be best for
someone to fill the vacant position of Treasurer.
Pursuant to Section 4 Article 19 of our constitution:
(Available at:
https://www.union.ic.ac.uk/osc/singapore/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Constit…
)
*1. Any member of the Committee who wishes to resign shall submit an
official letter to the Committee and the letter shall be made public.*
*2. A by-election of the vacated post shall be conducted pursuant to
article 13(1) of this Constitution.*
We will be holding an *Ordinary General Meeting (OGM), *followed by an
*Extraordinary
General Meeting (EGM) *to conduct a by-election. The details of the
meeting, as well as the by-election procedure will be released in a
separate email once they are confirmed.
For the EGM, please note that in order to gain voting rights, you will need
to be a *full member*, thus I sincerely appeal to you to *purchase
membership* if you have not already done so, in order to participate in the
OGM as well as this important by-elections. As with all general meetings,
it can only proceed when a minimum quorum is reached, thus your support is
of utmost importance.
To all members, I would like to appeal to you to seriously consider the
role of Treasurer. This is a critical role in deciding the success of our
future events. The Treasurer will ensure that the society’s financial
account is in order and assist in gathering sponsorships necessary to run
the society’s events. He or she will be in the best position to advise on
the scale of our events and the amount of subsidies to provide to our
members, as well as participate in other important decisions.
Handling the funds from members and sponsors is a great responsibility, and
one may even find it unrewarding to do so much work behind the scenes.
However, at the end of the exco journey, you will hopefully realise that
your efforts are truly meaningful – experiencing the sense of achievement
in seeing events materialise from scratch, bringing laughter and smiles to
people’s lives, and making the Singapore Society a little closer to being
the home away from home we all want it to be.
For those who would like to find out more about the role of the Treasurer,
here are my contact details:
HP: +447707064640/+6596791435(whatsapp)
Email: wanqingtham(a)gmail.com.
Alternatively, you may also approach the previous treasurer, Maung Thet,
who would share his experience as a dedicated treasurer:
HP: +6597129215
On behalf of the 33rd Executive Committee, we wish Jiaxi all the best for
her studies and future.
Yours sincerely,
Tham Wan Qing
President
33rd Executive Committee
Imperial College Singapore Society

2. Hall Walkabout
Hi Freshers! Hope you are settling in well in your respective halls!
On the 3rd of October, with the nice cloudy weather (and a little sun),
most of you were up and about walking the area around your halls and
purchasing your necessities, with some tips from our lovely seniors!
We hope you have enjoyed yourself as much as we did doing all that shopping
and (non-studies) prep for the upcoming year ahead!
The hall walkabouts would not have been possible without all the seniors
who came forth and volunteered their time to bring the freshers (and
parents) around and share personal tips with them! A huge thank you to the
hall seniors!
To finish off the Fresher's Package, we will have our *Hyde Park Picnic* on *17
October 2015 (Sat)*! Do keep that day free and we look forward to seeing
you there at Hyde Park!
Cheers!
Your enthu Liaisons Officer,

character I was most comfortable with. There will definitely be a place for
you to shine on stage. You don't get this chance everyday ;)
