A huge thank you to all of you who attended this year's AGM on Thursday. We had a really good turn out, reaching and surpassing the quorate of 150 with 179 students in attendance.
All the motions were passed ... the most important of which was the adoption of a new Constitution.
52 pages down to 12 - definititely a change for the better!
So thanks to all and well done!

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.

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!
