Time is quickly running out for getting those lovely manifestos in! The deadline is Thursday this week (the 22nd) so get those fingers typing...
The positions available are: Chair Secretary Treasurer Mens officer Womens officer Trans officer International officer Events officer Communications officer
All you need to do is write between 100-200 words saying why you want the position and why you would be good at the job, then send it to the society webmail at luu.lgbt@leeds.ac.uk
The society won't be able to run without you next year so make sure you take part and keep it as one of the biggest societys of the university!

Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but you're a total bitch.
Do you think it would be possible to give a few short sentences about what are the main responsibilities of each role?
I understand a men's officer looks after all the guys in the society but it's kinda a bit vague - what do their duties include? Any examples of the work they have had to do this year? etc...

You can see what everyone has to do in the constitution, which i would say is a good thing to read if you are thinking of running next year....
You can read it here: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/union/socs/lgb/constitution.pdf
I can't wait to see them. If there isn't at least one manifesto that offers bribes in the form of food/sexual favours/hot chocolate at Coffee Hour then I'll be seriously disappointed in the direction the society is heading.

Has anyone still got mine n laura's wonderful events manifesto from 2005 which included such gems as:
'I used to look after brownies so if I can deal with screaming kids I could handle you'
'I need to do this towards my community service hours & I'm on the run from my maximum security prison cell'
'We would be good at events cos we like gettin pissed and know the right vodka for any occasion'
'Non drinking events will be included just so ur livers don't pack in'
'If elected we promise u lots of.... rohypnol, opportunity to get MINGE! & ELEPHANT ****!'
'Vote Dyke!'
Cos that was a cracking manifesto!
Actually where are all of the 2005 manifestos cos I remember adams been hilarious and supported by margaret the bear

oi safe space we wont have any childish name calling.....
and alice some members of the lgbt are dyslexic and so their lack of grammer is not the individuals fault.
can i just ad the anon posts are being abused people seem to be using them to insult its not on i tell you have some courage and put your name at the end of the message if your going to get personal.
I was just making the point that, if people cared about the soc then they would turn up to things, 80% join for the gold cards or just dont care so them turning up to the AGM would be pretty pointless
Or maybe, if u take the smokescreen down from round ur eyes, you'd realise that some people attend everything at start of year, but feel left/pushed out of things by bitchy people, cliques and are genuinley intimidated by other members of the society. They may not attend events, as a way of avoiding this, however they go to the AGM to vote as they care about the society and safety net of support available to them if the need arises, in this instance you vote to maintain a decent standard of representation and protect ur interests.
You can't just label everyone as stealing gold cards. The society isn't 100% perfect and flawless, it never has been and it never will be. Discrimination, playground politics and other immature factors all come into play and are this societies downfall. If these things were non exsistant then yeah maybe ppl would just be stealing gold cards.

at the end of the day if someone's paid to be in the society they don't have to be an active member to get the privilages. Pays your money takes your choice.

too true even if people do join just foe goldies then what the hey they still pay for them for crying out loud lol hell i havent had a gold card i n ages not really bothered i dont go out anyway poor little workaholic that i am
Yeah, the Gold Card robbing... No worries even if they do.
Hopefully all of us have got a Gold Card, but the money from them joining helps go towards the amazing events that we all attend and enjoy! Such as the large amount of money behind the bar and food at the AGM... and the Art Event... I'd say that's well worth it.
