We will be exploring the motion ‘This house prefers that environmental movements should tackle Global Issues e.g. Climate Change than the local environmental issues e.g. biodiversity loss, local pollution.’

This event offers a prime opportunity to develop and sharpen key debating and critical thinking skills while actively contributing to an enriching dialogue aimed at broadening our collective understanding of global challenges.

Can’t wait to see you there!! 🎓💬

Here are your 2024-2025 election nominees !! 🗳️

Elections are in person tonight starting sharply at 6pm in room S0.20.

The speeches will be delivered in the order seen above (alphabetically), starting with the president. After each role there will be a vote and the election result will be announced immediately before moving onto the next role.

(1) = the candidates first choice role
(2) = the candidates second choice role

A reminder that speeches for President and VP’s are 5 minutes long with questions from the exec and audience. All other speeches are 2 minutes long with only one question from the exec.

Voters will be able to vote for either one or two candidates (as indicated in the image above) with R.O.N (re-open nominations) being listed as an option for all roles. If R.O.N receives the most votes, no candidates will be elected into the role.

Everyone is welcome to come along and watch, but in order to vote you must have had your membership bought on or before the 23rd February 2024. We will be checking memberships on the door to confirm the number of votes with the number of members in the room. If these do not match up will be checking the individual votes to confirm the mismatch.

On another note there will be free pizza so make sure you come along and support your friends 🍕🍕🍕

We loved our week 9 bircle! Madam President truly did turn old in style 😎

As always, you all looked GORGEOUS - photos will be on the drive v shortly via the link in our bio 🕺🏼🔪☠️

We loved volunteering with yesterday, an amazing charity supporting those in need of a meal, extra support, or just a chat somewhere warm 🩵

We also chefed up the best bolognese you’ve ever seen and can’t wait to be back there soon! 👨🏻‍🍳🍝

You are allowed to apply for up to two roles (when you submit the manifestos we will ask you to choose which is your first choice). You need a separate manifesto for each role 🗳️

A reminder that manifestos can only be submitted during the nomination period and on the night all votes will remain anonymous aside from the current president who will have access to count the votes.

Reach out if you have any questions! Good luck to everyone we can’t wait to see who will be the new exec!! 🩵🩵🩵

There’s literally nowhere else you’d rather be on Saturday 24th (week 7) than at round 3 of a GSD bar crawl! 🍻😈

The theme is ‘somebody call 911’ - sign up using the link in our bio and we’ll tell you whether you’re on the police, fire, or paramedic team. The quicker you do it, the better your outfit is gonna be 😍🚨🚒🚑👮🏽

We’ll be splitting up in our teams for a short while before regrouping and heading to Moo/Smack 🕺🏼💃🏽🐮

Third time lucky.. Here’s hoping you wake up fresh as a daisy on Sunday! See you Saturday 🩵🩵🩵

Join us on the 29th of February in Leamington to work with the Helping Hands Community Project working with vulnerable people in the community.

This project works to provide a safe space for people in Leamington who need help, be that a hot meal, somewhere to shower or someone to talk to.

We are looking for 5-8 volunteers who can be in leamington from 4 until 8 to help prepare, cook, serve and clean up after a dinner service. We will be working alongside experienced volunteers from the project so there is no need to worry!

We are asking for involvement from the entirety of the society. The project asks for donations to help them in their work. This can be anything non-perishable: toilet roll, coffee, sugar, jam, marmalade, chocolate spread, marmite, butter, long life milk, baked beans, flour, tinned apple etc. It would be amazing if everyone in the society could spend an extra pound or two in their weekly shop, allowing the volunteers to arrive with a bank of goods that can support the project in the future.

We will open a room for an hour (time TBC) for people to drop in with any goods or cash that they want to donate, which we will then spend on food.

We will need to ensure client confidentiality when we are working with the project. It is designed to be a safe space, and as such volunteers will have to sign confidentiality agreements regarding anything we see or hear there.

Prior to volunteering there will be a short presentation where the project leaders will inform us of everything we need to know.

If you have any questions please just send this page a DM or email us and we will get back to you!!

Climate anxiety can affect anyone, more and more people are experiencing anxiety around the future of our planet with the ever increasing number of natural disasters, ecological events and urgency surrounding temperature rises. It is a valid reaction to a concerning aspect of our lives in one way or another. You can turn your concern for the planet into positive change or talk to our welfare officer Tabby (instagram- )or go to the welfare directory on our linktree for support from the university. It is important to not just care for the planet but also your mental health :)))
