A society for atheists, rationalists, secularists and humanists
I'm blogging from the train heading down to London for the national press launch of the National Federation of Atheist, Humanist and Secular Student Societies, or the AHS as it is better known.
Tomorrow will be an exciting day with Polly Toynbee, A.C. Grailing and Richard Dawkins speaking alongside out very own el presidente Norman.
No doubt there will be much reporting going on from the members down here as well as planty of photos on the website after the event!
Interestingly we're taking a total of ten members down from Leeds. This is unmatched by any other society other than Royal Holloway which is a London based university so it's not really a challenge for them. As such I think we can give ourselves a good pat on the back for effort.
Keep your eyes pealed on the site for further updates.
Well, Leeds pulled it off!
Leeds Atheist Society has just hosted the second conference of the National Federation of Atheist, Humanist and Secular Student Societies (AHS for short :P ).
The event was a great success. The constitution was ratified and its directions put into place. Two of our members were elected on to the Executive of the AHS. Tom Leadbeater, our recently elected AHS Rep for A-Soc was chosen as the organisation's Treasurer, a prestigious job. I was elected President of the AHS, which means that hopefully A-Soc's aims and objectives should get a good hearing at a national level.
Congratulations to Chris, our Events Sec who was appointed as a trustee for the AHS, a position that I am sure will be walk in the park for him.
Thanks to those A-Soc members that came down to support your representatives and ensure that we were shown off in the best possible light.
