BALLS, BALLS, BALLS
Two things about the AU Ball: firstly, award nominations are open online at cardiffstudents.com and I encourage everyone to nominate someone from a club who they feel has contributed greatly to their clubÔÇÖs activity both on and off the playing field.
Secondly, clubs wanting to attend the AU Ball will need to email me with the people on their table and any dietary requirements that they may have. There will be tables of 10 and, if you require an extra table, then youÔÇÖll need to tell me. I must stress, though, that ALL tables are allocated on a first come, first served.
Moreover, now that the election nomination deadline has passed, I wonÔÇÖt be bothering you about putting yourself forward for nominations anymore. Instead, IÔÇÖll be going on about how you need to make sure you vote in the elections.
If youÔÇÖve ever thought: ÔÇ£I wish the libraries stayed open for longerÔÇØ or ÔÇ£Our sports club needs new equipmentÔÇØ, then the only way to go about overcoming these problems is to vote. By doing so, youÔÇÖll be backing a candidate who can help provide these extra library hours or new equipment.
For the first time in my University career, I wonÔÇÖt be involved in elections at all. In my first and second year, I helped friends with their campaigns and, in my final year, I obviously ran myself. These were some of the best weeks I had in University. While I had barely any sleep, I was able to talk to and have a laugh with different people every day.
It was one of the few times of year outside FreshersÔÇÖ Week where you were encouraged to talk to complete strangers and, safe to say, I loved it! After three years of involvement, I must admit itÔÇÖll be strange to not be involved in a campaign.
Of course, as an officer, IÔÇÖll still be involved, but, for once, I wonÔÇÖt be one of the people knocking on your doors and telling you about manifesto points. IÔÇÖll leave that for this generation of election candidates!
Finally, IÔÇÖd like to congratulate Snowsports on an excellent bunch of results from their Kings competition in Gloucester last weekend. Our board team won, guaranteeing them a spot in the finals. The third team also put in a remarkable shift, finishing better than our other teams and coming in an excellent fifth place.
