Hi, I’m running to be one of your Social Secs for 2024/25 since I have very much enjoyed going to many of the socials and trips, as well as propelling my enthusiasm for climbing through joining the society. Due to my active participation, I have gained a good understanding of the role and running of the events. I have met and become friends with lots of people in the society which has also influenced our ideas for future socials, including Pub Golf, Capture the Flag and Dodgeball. I am living in a house of five climbers next year, including Tom, which will be convenient for the organisation of socials and hosting parties. I’ll have a car to buy food for the trips and we're good cooks so you’ll be well fed!

I am going into my second year, studying Biomed, so I have plenty of time to commit to the society. I have learnt lots about climbing in the past months, which I’m excited to pass on to new members in teaching sessions. I am friendly and confident in getting to know people and will focus on making socials welcoming and fun for everyone, including sober socials along with the usual partying.

Hi, I’m Tom. I’ve loved the socials since I joined in September and would love to be able to organise fun, creative, and inclusive socials for you next year.
Some of our ideas for the coming year are:

- More team-based socials (e.g. Scavenger Hunt, Beast Quest…) early in the first semester. This allows connections to be made early on in the year– both growing and strengthening the LUUMC family for the 2024/25 season!
- New social ideas (I’m A Climber Get Me Out of Here!, LUUMC’s Got Talent!, Bake-off) as well as keeping the classics.
- Some sober socials that all the society can join in on (what the hell happened to our pottery painting?)

In the last year, I’ve contracted a crippling climbing addiction and I’m excited to pass on this enthusiasm to the next generation of climbers.

Having been to (almost) every social this year, I have a good idea of how they are run. I also have many years of experience organising events, trips and activities as a scout leader. I like to think I am a friendly face and am known by lots of people in the society (next year Colette and I are living in a house full of climbers, so house parties will be plentiful!)

I look forward to everything we’ll get up to next year!

Lots of love,
Tom
