01
What membership means
Members may attend everything, vote at term meetings, and stand for any role once they have joined the collective. In return, members follow the code of conduct and do what they said they would.

A structure that survives graduation
Most student groups never write this down. We did, so the next batch inherits a working collective rather than a quiet group chat.
Six articles
How decisions, roles, and handovers work
Written plainly so any newcomer can see how the collective is run.
02
How decisions are made
Weekly open sittings settle small things by discussion. Larger calls, like spending money or removing a member, go to the term meeting where every member present votes. The convenor carries out what the meeting decides.
03
Roles and terms
Convenor, activity leads, and a treasurer where money exists. Each role runs one academic year, opening every September. No one holds the same role twice in a row.
04
Rotation and handover
Outgoing leads train replacements over one month and hand over notes, contacts, and passwords. The site keeps a public list of past convenors so the memory survives graduation.
05
Money
There is currently no membership fee and no budget. Showcases run on borrowed sound systems and shared tea money. If that changes, the amounts and spending appear on this page.
06
Raising a concern
Write to [email protected] with the word Concern in the subject, or speak to any lead. The convenor replies within three days and says what happens next.
Step forward
Roles open every September
Anyone who has joined the collective can stand for a role or shadow an activity lead during the term.
