Following on from the recent AGM, it is with some sadness that I write what is likely to be my final post as President of Leeds Atheist Society.
The past year has been a great experience for me, both as an atheist and as president. I have been a part of one of the strongest years the society has had performance wise – with our membership roster now approaching the hundred mark and our finances looking healthy for the first time in three years.
I have also had the pleasure of meeting some great new friends and future leaders of the society. Many of our new committee are just finishing their first years of study at university. In fact, this is by far the youngest committee we have ever had, yet strangely also one of the most experienced! I look forward with great interest as to the future direction of the society under my successor, Sophie Stringfellow. I wish her and her new executive all the best.
Fortunately for me, I have kept a small finger in the A-Soc pie as I was returned as the new AHS Representative for the society, taking over the reigns from Tom. I hope that I can continue to serve the society’s bets interests on the national stage.
Thanks to all the members of Leeds Atheist Society and I hope to see many of you return as members next year. Remember, we are not just a stuident society and are open to all. We have a really good alumni scheme in place for all you graduates out there!
Luckily, my reign is not quote over and we have plenty of great events lined up for the rest of the year (and all summer too!) Check out our events listings for all the latest info!
