society chairs newsletter - week 2

Dear Society Chairs,

As I’m sitting here, the rain is falling down in buckets and the temperature appears in a free-fall. It’s good to be have that typical, touristy London weather again…

The Beaver listings page
As of this week, The Beaver has added an extra ‘preview’ page to the listings page.
We’ll need your help to continue fill this page with more society news!
You can help in the following ways:
- Write a preview of an upcoming society event! A preview is a 150 word piece of text explaining more about the event (who is it for, how much does it cost, how frequently is it helpd? etc.). Really try and sell it to the readers: why should they attend?
NB: Deadline for next week’s previews is this Friday. Please send them to me at su.societies@lse.ac.uk
- As always, you can send me details of upcoming events (deadline also every Friday). As the Beaver will be adding pictures, you from now on also send me photos you’ve made.
NB: Please don’t send me huge picture files, but a link to the file on internet/facebook etc.

Joint Events
For those of you who are interested in doing Joint Events with one or more other societies, I’d like to remind you of the existence of the Joint Events Budget request form: http://www.lsesu.com/download/attachments/14832/jointeventsbudgetrequestform.doc?version=1. By filling in this form and getting your society treasurer to sign it, you can apply for additional funding from special union money solely available for joint events.

Room bookings: how to Cancel…
Gradually, as term progresses, you’ll find more and more rooms get clogged up. This can be very discouraging, especially if you want to host a new event at relatively short notice. To avoid this from happening, it’s essential that you CANCEL any unwanted bookings. This will free up space for others.
Cancelling is really easy: just go to LSE For You, Room Bookings, and select ‘Cancel’ next to the booking you wish to cancel. Piece of cake!

Office Hour: Friday 1-2pm in the Quad
If you have anything you’d like to discuss face to face with me, then please do attend my office hour every Friday from 1-2pm in the Quad. Feel free to e-mail me beforehand with issues you’d like to discuss, so I’m prepared.

That’s it all – good luck with all your events and look forward to hearing from you!
