This year I have developed a love for the sport so much so that I am determined to reform and find better ways to make the society more affordable, inclusive and engaging for everyone. My main priorities as President would be to ensure that we have bookings more regularly with varying times that is convenient for everyone and potentially create a scheme to pair players together to ensure no one is left out and that everyone feels confident to come along, play and have fun, further improving our comradery and sense of belonging. Similarly, I will endeavour to continue the seasonal competitions we have in collaboration with neighboring universities.

I am confident I can achieve this because I have a plethora of experience leading a team, working together with a diverse range of people, time management and I have great interpersonal skills. This can be depicted in my time as President of the Leeds Medics and Dentists African-Caribbean Society (LMDACS), a society which I have reformed and has shown great success thus far due to its diverse range of activities and collaborations. Likewise, being a 3rd year medical student, I have a better understanding of the stress and workload that many students face which limits their free time. As a result, I can advocate for more flexibility and varying time periods (particularly evenings).

Although I am not a pro at the sport, I have acquired a fondness and love for the sport as I have come to appreciate the joy and fun it brings, as well as the competitive nature.

All this and more is why I believe I would make a good president for the society.
