Welcome back one and all to my final term of Newsletter chaos!!!!

That’s kinda sad to think about but before we start counting down the weeks till I’m out of office lets have some fun shall we? With the list of Sneaks questions ready and waiting we’re sure to have some fun!! (tho there shall only be 9 questions this term).

But I do have to inform you that this newsletter will be chunky so enough of my rambling lets get into it!!

❗ Announcements ❗

🎴Intros to CCGS 🎴

If you want to learn Magic: The Gathering, Yu-gi-oh, Pokemon,or Riftbound, here is your chance! Come along to our Intro to CCGs event the first week back of term!

This will be from 5-7pm in B2.03 then move to B2.02 at 7-10 pm on Thursday 15th Jan! Drop in learn some CCGs and bring your friends as well!

🧀Cheese and Chocolate with Games 🍫

On this Friday (week 1), the 16th January, we are hosting a collab with Cheese and Chocolate society in OC0.02 where you can come along to an all you can eat buffet to taste some cheese and chocolates while you play some boardgames!

This event will start at 7:30pm and end at 9pm!

If you are a member of either society you get a discounted price of £2 to join in the tasting!

If you aren’t a member however you’ll have to pay £4. So get your memberships to get a cheaper deal!!

To get your ticket for the event please follow the link here! You have to pay in advance on the SU website (people can do this on the door but it would be much preferred if you did it before had)

‼️WHAT IS AN AGM?‼️

Well AGM stands for Annual General Meeting. This is where we as a society come together to listen to the short speeches of those in the society that wish to take on the duty of the *next set of exec! Whether you wish to run for President, VP, Co-op, Treasurer, tech officer, welfare, ED&I or any of the Faction rep positions this is your chance!!!

It is also the chance to bring up any constitution changes that you wish to make, like last year we finally made a change to say begone to our Facebook account!! (I assure you it was way better worded than that but that was the gist of it).

This normally takes place in week 7 Wednesday during board games but more information on the exacts will be later on. Do not worry you’ll be hearing about the AGM every week from me till it is done and dusted and our new shining exec are voted for. Which to preface doesn’t happen on the same day normally the weekend after. And to vote and run you MUST BE A MEMBER and VALIDATED on our website 2 weeks before AGM! (you cannot vote or run for and exec positions if you are not!)

The only voting that does happen on the day is the voting of the tabletop mascot. Yes you heard me right it is almost time to elect a new society mascot. Sneak the Snakes reign of terror is almost over. What will you do?? Probably not much I’m sure like Feltspar and Strawberry Jam before them. They will remain around and the society's plushly collection will grow.. Unless you choose for the next mascot to not be a plushy at all and break the last three years of tradition (that’s okay if you want to I hold no quarms with that).

I hope I did justice to the explanation. If you are confused or want to know more do come ask the exec any questions you want.

Additionally please start seeking out those in the roles you are considering taking! We would love you to reach out to us if you know you are interested, so we know who you are and can help you know what we do!! In the coming weeks each exec will write a little summery of their role for you to read! But if your already certain a role is for you do come find us!!
