8.30pm, D/056, Monday 9th March
For those interested in running photoSoc over the next year… we need you! No committee members mean no photoSoc!
So if you are interested, and want to help out, please come and stand for election. We don’t need to fill every position but we do need signatories who are dedicated – you don’t have to be a great photographer (though it can be useful). There will also be some of the existing committee remaining to help out.
We also need at least 10 members to come and vote, otherwise we will have to call another election. Afterwards you can join us in one of the campus bars.
Any questions can be asked on a Facebook event page here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=72557090519
Committee Positions
3 Signatory Positions: – These must be filled!
CHAIR: Responsible for the day to day running of the society, its direction across the year and the accountability of its members
VICE CHAIR: Responsible for assisting the chair
TREASURER : Responsible for finance, submitting and running the budget
Other Positions:
DARKROOM OFFICER: Responsible for the maintenance of darkroom and tuition of techniques
EQUIPMENT OFFICER: Responsible for the acquisition of equipment and its storage and hire
ORDINARY MEMBERS: Responsible for helping out the other members
FILM/DIGITAL OFFICERS: Responsible for their respective fields
The members of the current committee who are leaving include: the Chair, Vice Chair, Darkroom Officer, and Ordinary Member. However all positions are up for election. Any member of the society can stand for Election!
If you want to help out in some way which is not covered by the current positions, just ask.
Running events weekly can be a lot of work. But it doesn’t mean you have to continue this in the future. What you can do depends on how many people run for the committee and what you are interested in. I would advise you all to run – firstly, it’s great fun – secondly, it looks good on your C.V. – and thirdly if you are worried about the work-society balance, your work always comes first. You will not be asked to do anything you are not capable of and there will always be other to help.
Remember: No committee members mean no photoSoc!
The next event is a trip next Saturday to Newcastle. More details will be posted soon here http://yorkphotosoc.com/2009/03/08/newcastle-trip/ and there will be an email in the middle of the week.
After that there will be a talk on Monday 16th by Matt Grum, one of the university’s best photographers who has been responsible for Bad Taste until recently.
