Clubs and Societies Committee By-Elections
Every society and sports club at Christ Church is run by a committee of elected students. In May we elected the majority of the committees and this by-election is to elect for any vacant positions.
Please login to see all the options available to you.
Only those current members allowed to take part. The successful candidates will help run the club/society for the academic year.
Members can only run for one 'core position' within each individual club/society they are a member (President / Vice-President / Treasurer / Wellbeing). There is no restriction on secondary positions, which can also be held in addition to core positions.
Please ensure you are logged in to take part and see if there are any vacant positions at your club or society.
