1 JCR AND MCR REPORTS Junior Common Room. President: S Ashbridge; Vice-President: A Russell; Treasurer: H Hudson; Green and Charities: K Baker; Equal Opportunities: E Carr; Access: L Russell; Welfare Officers; S Longworth (women & non-binary), A Petter (men & non-binary); IT Officer: E Balani; Communications and Internal Affairs: D Lawson; Services, Bar and Buttery: H King; Domestic and Academic: H Bryant; Freshers’ Rep: M Lupoli; Ents: G Nandakumar. In January, over 130 students travelled to Oxford for the third annual Magdalene-Magdalen Sports Day, competing in over ten sports from rugby and football to lacrosse and darts. This was a great success and we look forward to hosting Oxford again next year. Kit, the Green and Charities Officer, organised a Green and Charities Formal to raise money for our charities: Leonard Cheshire Disability and the Against Malaria Foundation. The Ents Officer, Giri, organised two bops, with themes including ‘Memes’ and ‘UV’: much fun was had by all who attended, especially since the Treasurer Officer, Hugh, facilitated a way to take card payment. We also hosted the first-ever Wedding Formal to celebrate the Fresher’s College marriages and raise money for next year’s Freshers’ Week. Prosecco pre-drinks, decorations in Hall and a photographer made this a highlight of the term, and we hope it is something that will be repeated for many more years to come. As Exam Term slowly approached, the two Welfare Officers, Alex and Sarah, worked hard to relieve the stress of students in College. Donut and coffee events in the bar, individual drop-in sessions and sexual health clinics have all been instrumental in this, and the students in College are grateful for all their hard work. Elsewhere, the Women’s Officer, Rachel, put on a celebration for International Women’s Day. The Services, Bar and Buttery Officer, Harry, organised a fantastic Halfway Hall for the second years, and the IT Officer, Edwin, organised a Room Ballot Website with 360-degree photos. The careful organisation of the Domestic and Academic Officer, Hannah, ensured that the room ballot ran without a hitch. Furthermore, the LGBT+ Officers, Nathan and Laura have organised a series of great events throughout term, including an LGBT+ Superhall, whilst the Access Officer, Lucy, has overseen several access events which aim to debunk myths surrounding Cambridge University life.
