IT’S AGM TIME! Our AGM will be on Tuesday 10th April at 6pm. We will be discussing the events of this year and electing our new committee!</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px">If you would like to run to be on the committee next year, come along and tell us how fab you are and we will probably just let you on. Here is a list of our roles below so you can think about what you’d like to run for before the meeting:</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px"><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px">President:</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px">The president's role is to be the face of the society and generally be in charge of its running. It's you</span><span class="" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);display:inline;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:18.76px">r job to keep your committee on track and motivated and to make the final decision in any committee discussions. If you have great ideas for the society and think you can make them happen then this is the job for you. You need to be organised and motivated to get things done but the most important thing is that you really care about the society and believe you can take good care of it! Being president of CeilidhSoc has been a very rewarding experience - it's a lot of work but the benefits of seeing people have a great time makes it all worth it.<br><br>Vice President<br>The vice-president's job is to provide the president with support with the general running of the society. This includes helping the president with communicating with the other committee members and taking on some larger jobs - this traditionally includes organising the Christmas meal and the IVFDF coach! The vice-president is the first port of call for the society if the president is absent and should therefore be fully involved with the president's activites, offering them support throughout. You should be approachable and friendly as committee members may come to you with concerns, and you should also be supportive and organised<br><br>Secretary<br>The secretary’s main jobs are minute taking and email-answering. Other things to do include room booking and, like all committee members, planning, setting up and running ceilidhs.<br>It’s a role best suited to someone friendly and committed, with decent organisational skills and a love of ceilidhs!<br><br>Treasurer<br>The treasurer manages the money for the society. This involves paying invoices, signing society expenses claims, keeping accounts up to date, and applying for funding and grants. Any purchases are approved by the treasurer and it is their responsibility to ensure that invoices are paid and that the society doesn't go into debt.<br>In addition to those duties specific to the role, it will also be expected that the treasurer perform additional general committee duties including helping with the activities fair, moving eqipment around, setting up and packing down ceilidhs and generally ensuring that they run smoothly.<br><br><br>Equipment officer<br>The equipment officer is in charge of all of the society's equipment which we use for ceilidhs. You will make decisions in conjunction with the treasurer about buying equipment when it is needed and it is your responsibility to make sure it is all in working order. The equipment officer does not need to be able to sound tech a ceilidh but should know who the sound techs are and make sure one is organised for every ceilidh. A basic knowledge of the equipment is useful but it's not 100% necessary to know how it all works, that's what sound techs are for - you just need to make sure it is fully functioning and present at every ceilidh.<br><br>The equipment officer is also expecting to take part in general committee duties e.g. attending meetings, helping set up and pack down ceilidhs, helping out with running the ceilidh etc.<br><br>Music Officer<br>The Music officer is responsible for either teaching the Tuesday tunes workshop, or finding someone to teach it. If you are a keen musicians who would like to recruit more people into the wonderful world of ceilidhs, this is the position to apply for!<br><br>Bands Officer<br>The Band Officer has the resposibility of organizing bands, sound tech and drivers for every ceilidh, as well as and outside gigs. They need to be good organisers and communicators, as they will be the commities main contact for Sheffield's musicians.<br><br>Publicity and Web Officer<br>Responsible for keeping Ceilidhsoc members informed about upcoming events, as well as promoting the society to new members via social media, email, the Ceilidhsoc website and SU events. Furthermore, the publicity officer has the tradition of naming each year's ceilidhs. If you are the creative and/or poetic type, then this is the position for you! <br><br>All templates for existing leaflets/membership cards etc. shall be provided by the this year's officer, so you won't have to start from scratch!<br><br>Inclusions Officer:<br>The Inclusions officer is normally the friendliest member of the committee who makes sure that everybody is having a good time at each ceilidh. They are also a big voice in our committee meetings, addressing ways of which we can make our ceilidhs more inclusive and fun for all.<br><br>Even if you don’t want to run for committee, you are still very welcome to come along and give us some feedback on the society this year and vote for your future representatives. This is your main opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings about how the society is run so make sure you come along if you have things to share. There will also be biscuits so you can just come along for those if you like.<br>Speak to a committee member via email/ceilidh/message/<span class="" style="display:inline-block"></span>carrier pigeon/psychic ability if you have questions about the meeting or any of the roles.
