Meetings
General Meetings
It is important that you attend the SU AGM, Arts and Societies AGM and Arts and Societies General Forums as this is where the decisions are made, information is given out and the relevant executive commitees report to. Remember this is your forum for your area and your chance to have your say about how your area is run.
Please Note: If any society misses more than two meetings without apologies then their budget will be frozen and they will be deemed to be inactive
