First JCR meeting of the new term – tomorrow, 8:30pm, JCR. Biscuits, banter and all around happy times.

On a different note, the Exeter College Ball website is now live: check it out at http://www.exetercollegeball.com/
Ticket sales are open from next Wednesday, and are priced at £55 per head.

See you tomorrow night!

The college has lots of Access events going on throughout term and the  holidays. This includes school visits, e-mentoring, open days and the interview weeks at the end of this term. Sometimes you can get paid for helping out, other times you get a free lunch thrown in, but they are all great fun, don't require too much of your time and student participation is usually the favourite part of the prospective students' visits.

There are school visits planned this term on the following dates:

• 5th November
• 10th November
• 11th November
• 19th November
• 24th November

I could really do with a big bunch of people who I can rely on to help out at these events from time to time. If you're interested in volunteering to help please give me an e-mail asap and I'll let you know how and when you can help the JCR and College with our access events. I'll also need some of the volunteers to help me put together the alternative prospectus, which is the JCR's version of the college prospectus and is a very valuable document for showing off student life at Exeter.

Both motions required a two-thirds majority as they were constitutional changes. Both motions have failed. For a breakdown of the ballot, please see the President's email. Thank you for everyone who attended the JCR meeting - we had a great turnout and it was really good to see lots of people get involved in the debate!

Now ... ELECTIONS!!! JCR elections are next week. The positions up for grabs are; Amalgas Officer, Information Officer and the new and shiny Environment and Charities Officer.

Nomination forms are now in Ed Moores' pigeonhole, please collect from there and return there before the deadline, which is Midnight of Sunday Evening (1st November). After that comes Hustings, which will be on Tuesday of 4th week at 8pm, and then the elections will take place from 8am to 8pm on Wednesday of 4th week.
