This should come as a surprise to no-one. I'll run for President

Meh, I'll go for it, I'll run for Vice-Pres.

Note to self: Eddie's running for Treasurer

Me and Aneese will run joint for Social Secretary('s)

I was thinking, if no one else runs for gig organizer, Alice and Aneese can kind of split social sec and gig organizer between them, considering gigs are social based anyway? xxx

No, gig organiser wont work for me and Aneese. We've too much a different music taste to the majority.

Pro-tip: you don't have to like the bands you're booking for the society, as long as you're pretty sure that other people will

That's a fair point, but yh, i think what i'm really trying to say is that no, I do not want to run for gig organiser as well. Not at all.

Na, I don't mean run for gig organizer, more just if no one else runs for it considering there'd be 2 social exec they can pretty much do gig organizer as well as the social exec role. It is pretty much the same thing, organizing socials and organizing gigs. If no one wants to run for gig organizer at all it'll still need to be done.

Note to Giles: Rob Doull is running for Gig Organiser

That's sorted then =D

Note to Giles: Andy's Note to Giles is correct, holy crap that got meta fast.

That's not sorted then =(

Realized I'd read above as "incorrect" derp...

I know I'm virtually anonymous (or known just as Joe's sister) but I was considering running for Publicity? As far as I know, nobody else is running for this position (yet).

Oh yeah, I wanna run for VP as well as Gig Organiser (sorry Miro!)

I'll run for VP too

Nathan

I swear someone said Hannah Austin was running for IT?
Oh and I suggest one of the guys only running for VP also run for merch seeing as no one's running for it =)

i'll do that then

Looks like I'm doing a masters.

It'd be rude not to... I'll run for president.

I'll go for IT But....due to a certain Jazz being back, I will not be able to make the elections, so I don't know how this works?

Strictly speaking, you're still obliged to make a speech - the normal practice is to have someone give it on your behalf. Since you're running unopposed it doesn't matter as much, unless you think people would vote for RON over someone who can't even be bothered having someone else read their speech

I'll run for secretary but only if no one else wants to, cos I can't guarantee I'll be here next year yet. I don't mind doing it to just third term though if there really is no one else that wants to x
