VERY IMPORTANT!
This Thursday 11th October at 5.30 is the Annual General Meeting, held in the Main Hall.
AGM happens once a year and forms an IMMENSELY important part of the SU calendar, as this is where YOU, Brookes students, get to decide how the union is run.
If you want to make things happen, and see progress, make sure you are at the AGM!
Arrival time:5:15pm
Start: 5:30pm
All students are very welcome to attend and take an active part in the meeting.
We'll be discussing how the Students' Union spends it's money, choosing the RAG charities and so on.
This year we'll have guest speakers as well:
- Diversity? @ Brookes by the ACS society President!
- Islamofobia by the Islamic Society
Evening refreshments provided: Pizza & Ethical Water*
The Agenda will be published on Thu 4th Oct
* The water supports building water pumping systems overseas which will improve people’s lives by providing free, clean water.

How to start a society and get affiliated...
Starting A New Society!
If there's not a society at Brookes that you want to join then it's easy...start your own! All you need is the name and student number of a proposer and seconder, 15 students interested, a completed Schedule 9 and a name for the society.
Pick up a 'Society Constitution and Regulations' form from the my office in the exec corridor or the Activities Office (next to the SU reception) and return it to me a week and a half before the next Societies Executive meeting.
Getting Your Society Affiliated
The proposed society is taken to the Union General Meeting to be affiliated. The proposer of the society is given 2 minutes to say why they want to set it up, after which anyone who wants to argue against the proposal is also given 2 minutes to speak. After questions from students it may go to another round of proposing (this is very rare) before it is put to the vote!
If voted in favour, the society will then be officially affiliated! It's then up to you (with a little help from me) to get together a committee, hold some meetings and organise some events!
For any help feel free to pop in and see me in my office, the Activities Office or email me at the link above! Good luck!
