THE BOARD 11/12
Hello! We’re your board for 2011/12. We meet every Monday at 5:30pm in the STaG Room throughout the academic year. If you’re interested in having an input in the decisions we make or just want to see what we do, then come to one of our ‘open board meetings,’ the first Monday of every month.
As the board we generally make sure that the society is always running smoothly. We assess your proposals and decide what goes on stage under STaG’s name; we book venues for performances; we hold social events for our members; we fundraise and provide members with financial support to put on their shows; and we help you achieve your theatrical vision.
Every year STaG holds elections in May and a new board is formed. To find out more about how you can help run STaG click here.
Look at our smiley faces below and you can meet us in real life too. We’re very friendly (honest) so come chat to us! Hope to see you around and involved!
