Last Thursday saw our Annual General Meeting take place. We took part in our annual review of our constitution and discussed other issues effecting the club. While official minutes are still be pre-pared we can share our round up of the afternoons discussions and decisions, or see what happened by reviewing our live twitter feed.

One of the main changes at these meetings is the alteration to our constitution. No large changes were proposed and most was altering terminology and reflect the changes within the SU over the 12 months. Notable changes including allowing non-student members to vote within AGMs and election of Safety Officers by the members.

Once our members ratified the constitution the meeting move along the agenda and moved along to hear feedback from current committee members and the plans from the new committee next year.

Then agenda moved onto the last item that was the logo vote, after a 3-week open entry 6 new designs for logo entries were received. Both the new and old web & media officer took all 6 entries forward and did not need to shortlist the designs. Alongside the 6 new designs it was also put forward to keep the current design but with some alterations. After a discussion about the designs and the future of design within the club, a vote took place and a new design was selected.

A team will develop the new design and 6 alterations will be presented to the club for another approval over summer for the final logo. Then the new brand will launch in time for Fresher’s Week!

Overall it was a exciting meeting and show the hard work and progress the club is making to keep it self up to date and develop even more.

Happy Paddling!
