This is your reminder to vote and sign the attendance form for this year's AGM.
The links to the candidate statements document, online voting form, and attendance form for the AGM can be found in story and on our Discord server ("Announcements" channel).

If you are a student member, please give the statements a read and vote before 7pm on the 15th April! You will have to sign in with your university email account.

And if you are a member of the society, we would greatly appreciate you signing the attendance form so that we can meet quorum and have the AGM be valid! You can do this whether or not you are a student.

Have a lovely day!

This week's Social, and the last social of this academic year, will be the End of Term Celebration. Join us to celebrate making it through all those essays and exams by eating snacks and playing board games! Participate in live games such as Werewolf, where you act as characters with specific roles and communicate with others to achieve your character’s goal, or any of the Society's usual games on offer. Arts and crafts supplies will also be provided, if you prefer.
This kind of Social tends to be a bit louder.

Also, this Social can be the ideal occasion for you to get more information about the committee roles available next year, if you decide to run for election! As a reminder, we still need more applications for the Society to be able to run next year.

[The Braid Room is located on the top floor of the Pleasance West Building, immediately to your right when you enter Pleasance Courtyard.]

Tonight's Social will be Easter and Spring-themed arts and crafts. Come along to make Easter/Spring decorations, paper flowers, or whatever strikes your fancy! 🌷🌿🐇
Alternatively, you can bring along your current project and work on it alongside others, or try out something new such as origami, cross-stitch, and more. If you wish to use society supplies, please note that supplies may be limited! ✂️🖌️🧶

This kind of Social tends to be quieter.

Our AGM will be on Monday 1st April at 7 pm! The AGM will take place online (Teams), and will be followed by an extended online voting period.

There are a range of committee roles that you can stand for and vote on. If you would like to stand for election, please send us a short statement about why you would be a good fit for the role by Sunday 31st March, or you can stand for election at the AGM itself. Anyone can stand for a non-executive position, but only student members can stand for executive roles.

The society must have a President, Treasurer, and Secretary in order to continue next year! Becoming a committee member is a great way to get involved in the society and ensure it continues to run.

Hi everyone, another reminder to vote in the AGM if you are a UofE student member. We are under the mimimum amount of votes required and if we don't get enough votes, the society's future may be in jeopardy. So, if you are eligible **please** vote!! You have until Sunday night at 9pm to cast your vote (but I recommend doing it now!)
