Q: Before I join, are there any events?
A: Event Planning comes with a lot of load from Venue booking to Risk Assessment, Your Committee aims to typically, try to set up at least 1 to 2 events per month, One of these 2 events should be in campus for sure (Unless there is CO-VID Restrictions), If we do have any events we will try to slip in the member joining mail, We are considering setting up some sort of Weekly Newsletter but until then your best bet is to look out weekly on the union's event page.
