Back as Treasurer

After a year as Chairperson, I'm looking after the club's finances again for my final year.

Chairperson

After two years as Treasurer I was elected Chairperson, and ran the whole club for the year. That meant making the key leadership decisions for the club, alongside the events and training sessions that keep it going.

Across my years on the committee I've helped run multiple events and a lot of training sessions.

Treasurer

Where it started: my first committee role. In my first year as Treasurer I secured the club's initial stash of equipment, working with the university to have it paid for through a fund set up to support clubs.

That helped the club grow from 80 to 300 members. I ran the club's finances for two years, through 2023/24 and 2024/25.
