Latest News / Upcoming Events

AGM The AGM will be held on the First Monday of next term: April 12th. If you are interested in joining the committee then e-mail the committee, or the current member of the post you are interested in for more information (see contact form). Committee positions available are: President: Chairs and coordinates committee meetings, keeps track of committee activities and assists or directs as required. If a committee member is ill/unavailable, acts as or arranges for a temporary replacement. Should try and attend as many Rocksoc organised events as possible! WUS officer(s): Runs the Wake Up Screaming club nights, organises DJ's and people to be on the door. Is in charge of making sure things go smoothly on Tuesday nights, the Kambar gets paid, DJ's know what to do, etc. This year we're encouraging two people to run for this, but it's not necessary, it just means you have to go to most WUS's, so we'd like to spread the load. Secretary: Takes minutes at meetings, is Keeper Of The Membership Database, which must be kept up to date, makes and distributes membership cards Junior Treasurer: Keep track of the Rocksoc finances throughout the year, so we have an idea of what we can afford to spend. Trying to keep a record of where money is going to and coming from (mostly via WUS reports and event reports from relevant committee members). Summarising the yearly accounts and submitting them to the senior treasurer. Basically not too much work, and not at all scary, but does involve dealing with banks... Publicity officer: organise freshers' fair stall and its staffing; send emails and facebook messages reminding members about WUS and other events, working with events and WUS officers; distribute WUS flyers and event flyers; create events flyers, working with events officer; manage web presence beyond rocksoc.org.uk; attempt to resurrect the Street Team; maintain links with AMS. Webmaster: Keeping the website up to date with all alternative events happening in Cambridge. Publicising rocksoc events such as gigs on the front page. Managing access to the website by the committee. All this can be done through the online django interface - some knowledge of html would be beneficial. Also looking after the mailing lists, checking the spam filter at least once a week, and figuring out how to fix the website when something goes wrong - experience of working at a linux command line would be beneficial. Not much effort to keep the website running day-to-day, but if you want to delve any deeper it might take some work. Events Officer: Co-ordinate gigs across the year which mainly involve numerous emails and telephone calls. You will be buying food and beer for the bands as well dealing with paying them directly alongside hiring the venue so some organistational skill are required, especially if a band cancels at the last minute for example. You will need to also diversify the styles of bands that are put on to cater to the wide tastes that both members and non-members have as the overall goal is to put on gigs that everyone enjoys. Don't worry if you are told to make a loss as you're not some patsy in an embezzlement scheme, just that RockSoc is a non-profit organisation.
