Hey Team!
Hope Y’all are all okay and safe given them circumstances that we have found ourselves in.
Firstly, a little about myself, for those that don’t know me I’m James and I will be going for the role of Treasurer. I’m currently a 1st year Business Studies student who has previous experience dealing with finances for businesses and I’m very comfortable with numbers so I think I will be ideal for this role. I consider myself a very social, easy to approach and welcoming person so I believe I will be a great face for the society for people to turn to as I’m always up for a chat. I also love a night of fancy dress and making an absolute fool of myself!!
Onto my first point of my manifesto, The Monthly Financial Report.
This is designed to bring organisation into the club’s finances and the whole committee will be aware of the situation that the club will find itself in. I will be able to create forecasts for the future months ahead of key revenue and expenditure dates and this way we can let the entire committee have a fair opportunity for them to go ahead with their own manifesto pledges. This will also allow us to budget for key events such as Cas, Kings, BUDS, BUISC, AfterJam, coach travel and merchandise. I will also be providing financial analysis by calculating the minimum number of places required at differing price points for events so that we don’t lose money. This will allow us to advertise these events early in order to meet our target attendance. This will also encourage us to the maximum number of members coming to events both competing and spectating.
Secondly, The Committee Calendar. This will aim to assist with the organisation of the entire yearly schedule of SHU Snow, so we know exactly when all events are, Kings, BUDS, CAS sessions, BUSIC, Afterjam, ski trips, free foods and Wednesday night socials are. We will be able to prepare and advertise for these in advance so current and new members can fill up their diary’s ASAP and get the highest number of members coming as possible to make all the events as amazing and memorable as possible.
My plan as head organiser of BUDS is to work closely with the President and the rest of the committee to making BUDS the best event of the year that I possibly can. My plan will be advertising the event from Day 1 of fresher’s week, so we get the most amount of interest possible about the event for both new and returning members. Through this advertising we will hopefully gain a good number of new members who are willing to race for either/both Race and Freestyle teams as well as spectators. I also plan to work closely with our sponsors and NUCO to ensure some amazing benefits for the club for this event and future ones!
I want to make an emphasis and support for Mental Health for the whole society by providing essential contact details within the fresher’s pack for those that require extra support. I will be working on an anonymous feedback email for any issues and problems for members, both about the club and personal, and if the issues require additional help, myself and the committee will be able to refer people to the contacts that they need.
And finally, I would like to Purchase and SHUSnow flag/banner so we have a clear and known presence at the freshers fair to gain more interest towards us and hopefully this will lead to more members of all academic years which will bring more revenue to the club which of course allow more opportunities for the society and the exciting plans the committee has for the year.
I hope I have gained your respect and vote for this upcoming election.
James xxx
