Clubs and Societies

Societies Treasurer		2nd, 4th year
	An elected position, I was responsible for allocating and monitoring the budgets of the 70 Union societies, including authorising expenditures, and providing help and advice to society treasurers. I also worked with the Sabbatical Treasurer to prepare the annual budget for the Societies area - including expenditures such as office expenses, wages, and advertising. I was also a member of SU Finance Committee where all Union financial decisions are made.

Societies Executive		2nd, 4th year
	An elected position, I was a member of the Socs Exec committee, which is responsible for co-ordinating and facilitating the 70 Union societies as a whole. This involved providing training and guidance for the society officers, chairing Socs GMs, and organising society events such as the Societies Fair.

Chair of University Film Society		1st - 2nd year
	The University's largest Society, with over 800 members. When I joined, it was little more than a cinema - members would turn up and watch films, but were never really a part of a society. I introduced a variety of new elements into the society, and got people involved. I projected films, organised events like All Night Film Shows and trips to Conferences and the IMAX Cinema in London, ran workshops teaching people how to project films, organised the budget, planned the advertising and much more. During this time the society won the Anderson Consulting Award for Best Student Society, the Students' Union Award for Best Student Society, and twice (two years consecutively) won the British Federation of Film Societies Award for Best Student Film Society.

Secretary of University Network Computing Society		1st year
	One of the people to start the Society, my role was technical (helping to set up networks at LAN meets), and administrative.
