Queen Margaret Union
Board of Management
inclusion of this in the University's alumni update has garned a lovely response from people who have not heard from the Union in many years. 2.5 Online I have delegated some facebook posting privileges to people more knowledgeable than myself of the days' events – notably social and sport, and this seems to be going well. I am writing a style guide such that we can all be of roughly the same 'voice'. I wish I had done this sooner, but we plough ever onwards. 2.6 Thank yous I keep meaning to have a meaningful think about rewarding the folk who go over and above – often thanklessly – every day, and promise to do this soon (Action Point). In the meantime, many thanks to R. Callaghan for working a ton on RAG Week, E. Jewson for focusing on some of the less glamorous areas of the building, S. Strausz for the 6 Nations PR, everyone who contributed to the outrageous success that was Superbowl and – as ever – Suki. 3. Honorary Secretary 3.1 Clubs and Societies 3.1.1 Club and Society Affiliation Apologies that I cannot attend the meeting today. I am sure C.Fraser and E.Murphy can answer any questions but if not feel free to drop me an email (or just grab me when I am back) Clubs to be affiliated today are: Scottish Literature Society GU Psychology Society 3.1.2 Clubs and Societies Speed Dating at SRC Thank you very much for C.MacInnes, E.Jewson and R.Callaghan for coming with me to this event. It was not very well attended but it was a great opportunity to talk to the societies that were there. Most of them were already affiliated with us so it was more about encouraging them to hold their events in the union rather than encouraging affiliation. Despite the fact that it was not that well attended this year I would recommend that we attend the next one, if there is to be one, all the same. 3.2 Life Membership Meeting 01/02/13: 5 Board Members - E. Murphy, L. Hinton, C. MacInnes, K. Simmons, T. Kelly 3.2.1 Life Membership Dinner I am currently in the process of looking for printers for menus and tickets. I aim to have the tickets ready to be sold by the next board meeting. The reception of the dinner has been very encouraging. It seems the alumni newsletter has encouraged many old board members to get in touch and all seem interested in getting some groups together for the event in May. It has not been more widely advertised yet but I am encouraged by these first steps. 3.2.2 New Life Members (Do not need to be passed – Automatic or Card Renew) Ruth Sharp (nee O’Beirne) 1974/5 President Helen McEwan Stephen D Strowes Patricia Thomson (nee Smith) Annabelle Gray Susan E.
