It started with the banners, and then the manifestos came.

Elections at Queens

Elections for the new, 2013-2014 ACS committee took place on Friday 22nd March. Students ran for positions including: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Social Secretary, Publicity Secretary and St Luke's Representative (a new addition to the positions). There was lots of campaigning and competition between opposing candidates; some took took a creative step and campaigned with videos whilst others used tasty treats (sweets, nomnomnom) to persuade members to vote. Students began to really voice their opinions, resulting in the possibility of two positions for Social Sec as opposed to one.

ACS Committee 2013-2014

All candidates presented themselves extremely well and demonstrated great passion in their speeches, once again, congratulations to everyone who made it onto the 2013-2014 committee, well done to all candidates for participating and a massive thank you to and *round of applause* for the 2012-2013 committee. The new committee sure 'got boots to fill and need to keep the ball rolling! But no worries, Obama's got the right idea!


Members then made their way to the ACS After Election Party at Monkey Suit, which was at first struck down by the power cut that took down the whole of Sidwell Street. KFC was defeated, Subway resorted to selling cold sandwiches, but the celebration triumphed, and after a slow start, ended up being a fantastic night. 

There was, obviously, a lot of dancing, plenty of Azonto and damn, do people love to dougie! What a great way to celebrate the new committee, old committee and ACS in itself, as a society.

Hopefully everyone that attended had a good time, and for those of you that missed it, we hope to see you at the next ACS event!

Yours,
