*[image: Inline image 2]Hi CeilidhSoc!*

*AGM: TUESDAY 21st APRIL, 18:00, HICKS BUILDING LT11 (F FLOOR)*

CeilidhSoc's AGM (Annual General Meeting, position descriptions below) is
happpening very soon! This is a big chance for YOU to run a big society
like ours, improve your CV, and most importantly, have lots of fun with
ceilidhs!
Ceilidhs don't organise themselves: There's a big team of people who
voluntarily spend some time for you guys to enjoy every fortnight-ish and
have sessions every week (and go to IVFDF, etc.)!!!

You know you love ceilidhs, so if you want this great society to be alive
while being an active part of it, come to the AGM and run for a committee
position!

If you wanna run for a position in the committee, all you have to do is
come to the AGM, or tell us that you want to run for it if you cannot make
it. The following positions are available this year:

President
“The main job for the president of CeilidhSoc is to make sure that the
society runs smoothly. Over the year I have sent e-mails here, there and
everywhere, ensured everything is in place before a ceilidh and held
committee meetings…among other things!”

Vice president
Special powers: reading the president’s mind

Secretary
"This year I have been in charge of regularly checking the e-mail account
and answering questions/forwarding information on as necessary, I’ve turned
up in time for ceilidh set up, taken minutes for committee meetings and
liaised with outside parties where necessary.”

Treasurer
“The treasurer looks after the cash box and makes sure it gets to every
ceilidh, pays money in from the cash box, deals with paying external bands
and callers when we have them, occasionally sorts out paying or receiving
money for other things e.g. hoodies, IVFDF coach, performances and makes
sure we don't spend all our money.”

Music Officer
“The music officer runs music workshops before the session or organises
someone else to teach. They organise who will be in the ceilidh scratch
bands and book professional bands for 1-2 ceilidhs per term – (they make
sure they know when and where to go, agree on payment and tell the
treasurer). They also organise scratch bands when requests come in to
CeilidhSoc, and negotiate payment.”

******The Music officer position has been proposed to be split in two
different ones: Music officer (takes care of workshops) and Band officer
(takes care of ceilidh bands). This WILL BE VOTED during the AGM******

Equipment Officer
“Equipment officer doesn't have to be a sound engineer themselves, but
their job is to ensure that an engineer and PA driver are available for
each ceilidh. They also look into buying new equipment and generally look
after all the technical bits and bobs.”

Social sec/Inclusion
“I've been trying to make people who are new to ceilidhs feel they're part
of the group in ceilidhs, so they don't feel excluded because of the fact
they don't know what to do or how to dance. I sometimes invited them to
dance with me, and other times I would try to find them a skilled partner
for the next dance so they could properly learn. Basically, my job was to
try to make everyone feel included, hence the name of the position.”

Publicity officer
Special powers: making pretty posters, spreading news like wildfire, adding
people to the mailing list!

Web Officer
Special powers: the power to legitimately be on Facebook whilst working
because they’re 'doing society work'!
Someone has to manage and update CeilidhSoc's website... IT COULD BE YOU!

******This year we had a Dance officer to run dance workshops and organise
the interval spots, but this position will dissapear if nobody wants to run
for it******

Please, make an effort to come and decide who's gonna run CeilidhSoc next
year!

With love,
