The second Clubs Day is this Thursday, 1st March. This is as important as Orientation Week last week, perhaps even more so, because not only will we be targetting new students, but returning students also. The potential audience is even larger!
Please note that we WILL have another demonstation for this day. We will follow the same demonstration format as last week.
The day will start at 10am, and finish at 4pm. It is preferred that helpers help out for the whole day, but if you can only attend for half the day, your help is still needed! Especially people who can demonstrate!
If you can help out for this day, please send an email to the club.
The AKR is now calling for nominations for National AKR Officers. For full details, please read the email from the AKR Secretary, which as been forwarded to your inbox.
