Hello @everyone! As many of you will be aware, our AGM (Annual General Meet-up) is next Wednesday, 27th March, in the Boyd Orr 709B. This is your opportunity to express your democratic rights and vote for the next GULGBTQ+ committee for the coming academic year. Anyone can run for a position on committee (*cough cough* yes you who is thinking about it but is scared to run for a position *cough cough*). We do ask that anyone going for Executive positions have at least 1 year of experience on a committee, but this does not need to be on the GULGBTQ+ committee. We will also be voting on any constitutional amendments at the AGM.

Here are some links that may be helpful to find out a wee bit more:

The Instagram post gives a brief outline of each role within the committee: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4gaqeEMj0E/?img_index=1&utm_source=GULGBTQ%2B%20Members&utm_campaign=464777e0cf-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_03_20_01_18_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f16ee9adec-464777e0cf-1424113636

The Constitution (where more information on each committee role is) can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13L-eqeV10hHurldNvtWQPjLf4X8o1lxu/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=117704125849351176911&rtpof=true&sd=true

The form to submit a manifesto and run for a position: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ihIvYyZnKCofZZhcRbZbmG6XtxonWn3rjykIIcLjoVU/edit

If you wish to submit any constitutional amendments, please send a proposed amendment to our VP Secretary, Cecil (he/they), at vpsecretary@gulgbt.co.uk by the 25th of March.

We hope to see as many of you there as possible. Thank you all so much for the fun and friendships we have created over the last academic year, we have loved being able to share this year with everyone.

Queerest regards from 23/24 GULGBTQ+ Committee

At the top of this website, you will find a quick "Escape!" button. This will take you to the homepage of BBC Weather. We've added this feature so that you can inconspicuously browse something else if you live in a non-accepting environment. We chose BBC Weather because it's more believable than a simple Google screen.
