It's Election Night at GUPS!
Fancy getting more involved in your Politics Society?
On Thursday the 4th of October, we will be electing our First Year Representative to the board. If you would like to be more involved in the society then come along to Innis & Gunn Beer Kitchen on Ashton Lane at 7:30 to run for the position!
... The main role of the First Year Rep is to spread the word about the society among your peers and to get your fellow freshers involved with us. Don't worry all you have to do is give us a quick, informal introduction and tell us why you want the position. This is a great way of getting more involved with GUPS, as well as getting to know other students. The length of term for Representatives runs concurrently with the academic year.
If you have any questions about the position then don't hesitate to email us at admin@gupolitics.org or send us a message on Facebook.
We hope lots of you will want to run for the position, but if you are not in first year or if it's just not for you then come along anyway for some good fun and to cast your vote!

GUPS xxx
