Possible New UCL Union Societies
This Thursday sees the most interesting, and arguably most important, Activities Board of the year, as we will be deciding which new clubs and societies get affilliated to UCL Union.
The list of applications is as follows:
- AIESEC Society
- Arab Society
- Audiology Society
- CSSA Society
- Cycling Club
- Darts Club
- 5-A-Side Football Club
- Fives / Handball Club
- German Society
- (The Better) German Society
- Golf Club
- Guitar Apprentice Society
- Howard League for Penal Reform Society
- Human PAL (Pyramids Around Landmarks) Society
- Iaido Club
- Iran Freedom Society
- Italian Society
- Kazakhstan Society
- MUN (Model United Nations) Society
- Party Society
- People and Planet Society
- Prawn Magazine Society
- Seismic Society
- Snooker Club
- Snooker & Pool Club
- Social Forum Society
- SWSS (Socialist Worker Student Society)
- Vietnamese Society
- Welsh Society
- Wine Society
I'll probably be arguing for as many of them to be affilliated as possible, in particularly the human-pyramid society, who sound fantastic.
Update:
The following societies were affilliated:
- Arab Society
- Cycling Club
- Darts Club
- Fives / Handball Club
- German Society
- Golf Club
- Human PAL (Pyramids Around Landmarks) Society [pending 'Health and Satefy review', <groan>]
- MUN Society
- Prawn Magazine Society
- Social Forum Society
- Welsh Society
The Snooker and Snooker & Pool Societies will be reconsidered at a later date, with a view to affilliating one of them or a combined club.
I was mostly pleased with the outcome, although the meeting did go way over schedule (lasting 4.5 hours in the end, instead of the planned 2). On a few occassions there was clear opposition from the sabbatical officers present, who seemed to want to affilliate as few societies as possible, which was disappointing.
