SGM

SGM Just wanted to start by reminding everyone that SGM will be held on the 27th Feb in LTC 5.30pm. Apart from it being compulsory for society to send at least one representative to SGM. I personally believe it is your right and duty as the student body that elected the current executive officers to come and hold us accountable. If you have any questions or feedback for myself or the rest of the Student Union SGM is the perfect opportunity to bring it up. ***FREE PIZZA***
