Hello all, Some competition details first. Please put your name down if you’re interested in BUCS. The sooner we can plan travel and accommodation the better. The entry deadline is still a while away but the later you decide to go for it, the harder (read, more expensive) it will be to include you. https://imperiallondon-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/nfg18_ic_ac_uk/EZx-D... Also, the attendance sheet for next week’s sessions. https://imperiallondon-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/nfg18_ic_ac_uk/EdLXD... So add your names! Then for some Club administration details. Soon coming up are the committee elections for next year. We feel the current committee positions aren’t fit for purpose and need some tweaking in preparation for you lot to take over. I am including the proposed committee roles and their job descriptions below for you to be aware of them before we send them for Union approval. Please make known any objections. We really do encourage everyone to apply for a role when election season starts. I’ll be posting more informative content on the various responsibilities. Additionally we’ll be creating a ‘Committee guide’ document with tips and instructions for the next committee. Some of you may have gotten an impression of a hectic committee this year, but I assure you that’s just coming out of the full lockdown last year and suffering that break in club activities. We’re preparing it to be smoother sailing for years to come. I’d also like to point out that taking on one of these positions is excellent material for your CVs, and great preparation for post-grad life. All of the positions are important and each involves a different skillset and attitude.
