Future of this site
Posted on Tuesday 8th May 2012
Hey hey,

The forum is pretty dead, only spam bots (which are now posting porn) ever post. The majority of online prescence for the Society happens on Facebook, so it's not really worth maintaining the forum anymore. As a result I've locked the forum for new topics, we have a new site almost ready to go which mostly propagates information from the Facebook group for any non-FB types (Stu & Abbo :P).

Council Nominations 2012/13
Posted on Sunday 12th February 2012
Hello! It's time to start thinking about who's going to be on next year's council!

There are four positions up for grabs - Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Librarian. The first three absolutely must be filled if MUJS is to continue to be an official university society. They are also required to be current students at the University of Manchester. It's really good fun though and totally worth it - you get to decide what social events we have and what anime goes up for voting, and helping to run a society always looks really good on your CV!

The chair is the head of the society, and heavily involved in all aspects of its running - arranging events, booking rooms, setting up the Welcome Week stall, and anything else that might need doing.

The secretary is in charge of communication between the council and the members, and also very involved in event planning. They are also officially supposed to take notes at council meetings, but I don't think we ever actually have those XD

The treasurer is in charge of the accounts, and makes sure we get any money we need from UMSU, and that we don't overbudget (not usually an issue).

The librarian deals with the MUJS library, lending books to members.

In practice, the majority of tasks are shared by all of the council. If you want to apply, fill out the form below. You'll also have to give a short speech at an end-of-year screening, when the voting will take place, but that won't be for a while so you've got plenty of time to work out what you're going to say to make us all vote for you! ;D

Code:
[b]Name:[/b] (Your REAL name!)

[b]Position wanted:[/b]

[b]Manifesto:[/b] (Why do you want to be on the council, and why should we vote for you?)


Good luck, and let's hope we get loads of great applicants! :D

Society t-shirts!
Posted on Friday 2nd December 2011
Hey everyone! It's time to start thinking about t-shirts! C:

If you'd like one, just fill out this form and post it pretty much anyplace I'll see it – here, on the Facebook page, PM me here or email me at admin@mujs.co.uk. They'll be the same design as the t-shirts from a couple of years back if you've seen people wearing those, with the MUJS logo on the front and some text of your choosing on the back. You can get them printed in any colour on any colour shirt, although if you go for something really non-standard you should probably list an alternative in case that one's not available ^^

We've been quoted £6.50 per shirt, which once you've ordered you can give to me at one of the screenings before the end of term (tomorrow or next Friday, or if you can't make it to those we can arrange to meet up another time), and then hopefully we'll have them ready to give out when we all come back after Christmas!

Here's the form -
Code:
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Size:[/b]
[b]Shirt colour:[/b]
[b]Printing colour:[/b]
[b]Any text on the back?:[/b]


Edit: We can offer hoodies as well but I didn't get a quote for those yet. I'll find out tomorrow how much those cost.

Edit 2: Size guides here should be correct - click through to the mens' or womens' size charts and look under the FOTL row.

Edit 3: Hoodies are £12 for a white one and £15 for any other colour.

Leeds thought Bubble Festival!
Posted on Tuesday 8th November 2011
Hello there!

Is anyone planning on going to this years Thought Bubble Festival? here's a link to info about the festival http://thoughtbubblefestival.com

I personally won't be able to go (sadness) buuuuut, I thought it would be a good idea if anyone who will be going could give a shout out as it were so you can meet up with anyone else from the society, and we'll know who to stalk for embarrassing pictures!

Manga and Comic artists ahoy!
Posted on Friday 21st October 2011
I gave an announcement last week for any budding manga comic artists who might like to create a short piece for a comic/short story/etc. anthology which will be part of a charity fundraiser on behalf of Oxfam (see, it's for a good cause!!).

Well, alas but whilst there still isn't a blog or website about it (grrr...), here's a link to the Oxfam facebook group http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000055048839. The manager's name is Emma Cooney so drop her a message or a post and she'll get back to you.
