The LMSS Freshers Guide 2017/18 Fresher's Guide - Online | Page 5

As mentioned earlier the LMSS is now independent of the university. We have been lucky enough to become a registered charity! This allows us to host more charitable events and raise even more money for the amazing Charities we support. Over the past three years we have raised around £80,000 for amazing local and national charities. This is all thanks to the amazing work of LMSS members! This total will continue to grow and grow with your help!Whenever there isn't one of the bigger events on the will be an ‘LMSS Ordinary Meeting’. You will probably be thinking why would I want to spend my Thursday night coming to an ‘ordinary’ meeting?! All I can say is that these meetings are far from ordinary! Here you will have a chance to catch up with your friends from all years, and meet loads of new people! Ordinary Meetings are amazing value as they will be absolutely FREE, how can you argue with that! There is FREE FOOD too, which I can promise you will be very grateful for once you have blown your student loan in freshers week! There will also be Alumni coming back to tell you about amazing experiences they have had, such as working as the England Rugby Doctor to working abroad in Camp Bastion. Amazing entertainment is also offered at them such TV comedians, magicians and bands!! Thursday nights are for the LMSS!!! So as I mentioned earlier, I am President of the LMSS. This has been my dream ever since attending my first LMSS Ordinary Meeting all the way back in first year! I fell in love with the society immediately, over the years my love for the LMSS grew and grew. Until one fateful night last March at the LMSS Hustings, I got down on one knee and was proposed to be the LMSS President. I could not be more excited for you guys, you have the best 5 years of your life coming up!As President it is my job to represent you and the society in everything we do! I will fight tooth and nail to ensure that we put on the biggest and best events for our members, and that you have the best freshers experience in the country! Over the next year I will be making a fool of myself at Ordinary Meetings, representing our society in national conferences and running the society behind the scenes ensuring this coming year is our most successful year yet! Over the coming year I will keep you all up to date as I send email updates and post on all the Facebook group. I am also here for you academically throughout the year. If you ever have any problems feel free to contact me or my fellow committee members. I will do everything I can to ensure you get the help you need. So once again, I welcome you to the LMSS!!!
