Northern Society: Events Secretary

Hello everybody, Northeners and non-Northeners alike!

I'm Yusuf, a 3rd year Geologist hailing from Manchester (not even that north I know), and this year I want to represent you as your Events secretary. You may have seen me front-of-house at the freshers' fair, and it goes without saying I had so much fun talking to every one of you that paid a visit. I was also a driving force behind our Northern-themed pub quiz last Friday, during which I got to entertain several old faces and a lot of new ones. It's safe to say that I am very invested in planning and producing events that showcase Northern charm and hospitality, for those of you that are looking for a home away from home, and for those of you that are intrigued about the North or simply tagging along with a friend.

I promise as your Events Sec to deliver on a consistent and engaging events plan for people of all backgrounds, even you Londoners! (just kidding). I would bring this to you in the form of an event taking place once every two weeks, from more low-key chats over tea and boardgames to more full on crawls and evenings in the union, with even collaborations with other societies! (they're in the works, promise)

Having just said all that, I humbly ask for you to show your support by voting for me :).

Vote Yusuf, our future is bright!
