KCLSU LGBT Campaigns Group Election for President

————-

Hey, everyone. Apologies for the late notice *mumble exams etc.*. As many of you may have realised we have not yet had an election for President, which was the only contested position at the AGM we held back in April.

The election will be taking place TOMORROW on the kclsu website (www.kclsu.org) from 9am. King’s students simply need go to the website and vote using their King’s login details.

The two candidates standing are: ALANA JAMIL and TOMAS INCE – their manifestos can be found below:

TOMAS INCE -
‘I am vibrant and likable character who would thoroughly enjoy and look forward to becoming the LGBT president for my final year at Kings. My focus would be to bring the LBGT together on social occasions, both low key and larger events such as a freshers charity ball promoting awareness around discrimination on the grounds of sexuality. I recently attented the speed dating and throughly enjoyed myself. I can only hope to promote more events like this on a more frequent basis e.g QUIZZ NIGHT!! This will hopefully encourage more members and built rapport among existing members. So make a fabulous choice and i’ll be your voice.’

ALANA JAMIL -
‘I’m running for president of the LGBT society for the 2010/11 academic year. I have served as your events officer for the two past committees. It’s time to put the experience into practise. I helped starting up the committee again after it fell through, much has been accomplished and a lot has yet to be done. The LGBT needs more presence and promotion. It needs to be a safe space and a place where like minded can meet. I want to get as many as possible involved, regardless of their interests and age. I will work hard to tailor events according to demand, and make sure that there are more campaigns and workshops next year so that those interested can take part. A wide variety of social events are also necessary. And a bigger impact should be made at freshers fair. People should know that we exist from the moment they step foot on King’s College.’

All of us on the committee this year have had a great time and now is your time to get invovled and help and make it even better.

The election is going to take place in two parts this year:
1) An AGM next Tuesday (30th March, 7.30-8.30pm, Strand Campus, room tbc.) where everyone can come along and share their thoughts on how the year has gone and what they would like to see. Plus a time for candidates to tell us what they would like to do if elected.
2) Online elections on kclsu.org over Easter.

If you would like to run for the committee then just drop us an email and try to come along to the AGM.
All King’s Students are welcome at the AGM and if you can’t make it, but you would like to raise something then feel free to drop us email.

The positions open are as follows:
President
Treasurer
Events Officer
Welfare Officer
Website Officer
Campaigns Officer
Commuinications Officer

The event is also on Facebook: King’s LGBT AGM

With a brand new venue, how can you resist the temptation to escape the deadline madness? with only a few days left of term, why not see it out in style…

We thought we’d shake things up a little and as a result, the kind people @ The Edge in Soho have offered the services to us (and that comes in the form of cheap drinks, just to elaborate)

So we hope to see all of you Monday!

GIRLS CAN’T CATCH, ERIK HASSLE & CHEW LIPS CONFIRMED PLUS MORE TBA
Tipped for the big time as was Frankmusik last year, this is a chance to see the 2010’s biggest rising stars close up. They’ve supported Jonas Bro’s and Girls Aloud, they’ve played stadiums and arenas so big you’d be too scared to stand on the stage of… make room for:

Jarman studied English, History & Art at King’s in the early ’60s and was “the maverick radical of the British cinema during the late 1970s, ’80s, and early ’90s.” His Edward II revisits the eponymous play by Christopher Marlowe, “blending theatricalised staging, pop video aesthetics, overt homoeroticism, covert misogyny, and poetic dialogue.”

To check out more on Jarman and the film have a look at:

As per usual we’ll hop off for a drink or two after the film.

The event can also be found on facebook: Edward II Screening + Talk

The Albert Kennedy Trust supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans homeless young people. To find out more about their work check out their website: http://www.akt.org.uk/

Happy Hour prices will be running all night at Village and here’s some prices to give you an example of how very cheap the drinks will be:

Stella………………………………………..£2 a pint
House Spirts + Mixer………………………..£2
Glass of Wine…………………………………£2
Bottle of Ochagavia Red/White/Rosy Wine…..£7.75

A map of the Village can be found here: http://www.village-soho.co.uk/location/

The event can also be found on facebook: Speed Dating Kingky

It’s that time of the month again, and what with Kingky being so close to Valentines, why not make the most of an indulgent night out on the town. Starting as usual in The Village @ 8pm, and making our way  inevitably to either GAY late or Heaven (depending on preference) it’s likely to go down a hit as usual. Looking forward to seeing you all there…

For those who have failed to come in the past or are simply not sure about where Ku Bar is, meet us by Palace Theatre (Where Pricilla is showing) at 20:45. Also, don’t forget to bring your A-game.
