Southampton Hub: Events

As a result of many of the concerns raised at the AGM we will be holding an Emergency General Meeting on Monday 17th May at 5pm until 8pm in the Cube.

The Emergency General Meeting will allow us to let the motions that were not heard at the AGM be heard. We realise this is short notice, however we feel it is necessary as students want the chance to bring their motions to the Union.

The new agenda will be as follows:

1) Welcome

2) Motions:
• Ratification on Motion 6 — Location of AU Club AGMs

Want to get involved in SUSU?

Want to represent students?

Want to be a trained officer?

Want to be part of the highest Union authority?

Run for an Officer position at Union Council on the 17th of May

Officer positions available are:

-PostGrad Officer

- Cultural Diversity Officer

- Environment Co-ordinator

- Ethical Co-ordinator

- International Students

- LGBT Officer

- Mature Students' Co-ordinator

- Men's Officer

We started something special last Saturday. Over three thousand people in six simultaneous rallies across the country, the first time the head of a party has come out to answer the calls of the crowd, the beginning of a movement to take our parliament back!

But our work is far from done. We need a bigger Demo for Democracy than ever before at the heart of our politics, in Parliament Square on the 15th of May!

A Farm For The Future is a documentary about a working farm in Devon. The story is told by a lady who has inherited the family farm and is learning about peak oil and the implications it has for modern day farming methods. She explores the topic of peak oil and then looks for examples of low energy farming and food production that use the principles of permaculture (including a visit to an amazing food forest in Wales!).

But generally - Monte etc are in Romsey and Southampton North, Portswood is in Southampton Test and Bevois Valley is in Southampton Itchen. (But check to make sure which one you are in!)

This election gives you the chance to vote in your local councillors and also your MP.

It's your nation, it's your future, don't let someone else decide it for you.

“Nearly 30,000 children die every day from diseases, which could easily be treated if they had access to a basic range of essential medicines.”

Mike Foster – Former UK Minister for International Development

 

The WHO states that 10 million deaths could be prevented by 2015 by improving access to essential medicines.
