 # Best Society
 Page: https://cp.ulwolves.ie/committee/awards/2025/s_best
 ## Organisation & Events 
 ### Please detail the society's aims and objectives.
 The overall aim and goal of the Computer Society is to promote the use and enjoyment of computers within the University, by all students including those for whom it is not an academic requirement.  
 To this end we employ the use of the computing skills, knowledge and resources of the society, computer based information services, combining both the practical and the entertaining, to bring computers to the masses.  
 In recent years we have also been strongly promoting social skills and networking of our members.
 ### How has the society's work fulfilled these aims and objectives? (max 400 words) 
 #### 6 points
 #### Skynet
 At the heart of Computer Society lies our (33 years old) Skynet computer cluster.  
 * Host services for Computer Society and other Clubs/Socs
  * Member websites
  * Clubs/Society websites
  * We used to host UL Wolves on it
 * Train our members in using enterprise grade hardware and software
 * Be a point of contact with ITD
 * Touchstone for our alumni members to interact with our younger members
 #### Talks and Presentations
 We try to do as many social events as we can, tech is a field where creativity and soft skills are as important as the technical skills.  
 To facilitate this we invite in speakers from industry to talk about their experiences.
 Notable speakers in the last year:
 * NetApp
 * Intel
 * IEEE
 * Patch
 We also encourage members returning from co-op/internships to talk about "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" of their experiences.  
 This has lead to these members improving their public speaking abilities as well as inspiring our younger members.
 #### What UL doesn't teach
 The courses that UL (in particular CSIS) teach are really fantastic.  
 However as an institution it can be slow to react to the ever changing landscape.  
 As a student run Society (full of passionate people) we are agile enough that we are able to create targeted events to cover the cutting edge of technology.  
 By providing these Peer Learning supports we aim to help people to become more invested and involved in their academic degrees.
 #### Conferences and Competitions
 To help encourage professional development we now go to at least two conferences a year as a society.
 There are a multitude of programming based competitions now held in Ireland annually.  
 We are now supporting and encouraging our members to go and compete at these.
 #### Inter C&S and Committees
 Networking is important, we have formed strong links with Games Development Society, Games Society and Anime&Manga.  
 Additionally we provide games servers to any Club/Society who ask for them, to help facilitate bonding in that Club/Soc.
 We are heavily involved in the Virtual Committee Networking, we believe that networking and communication is the way forward to improve all of Clubs/Societies.
 We have worked with UL Wolves in order to help manage the discord server, providing each Club/Soc with its own space.
 #### Closing Remarks
 Computer Society is like glue, we help our members form strong bonds as well as strengthen relationships between Clubs/Socs.
 ### Please give details of the society's committee structure and how committee members functioned as a team. (max 400 words) 
 #### 6 points
 Our committee structure has been stable for many years and takes the form of:
 #### Elected Committee
 These are the center of the committee and comprise of:
 1.  Chairperson
 2.  Secretary
 3.  Treasurer
 4.  Safety Officer
 5.  Public Relations Officer (PRO)
 6.  Senior Systems' Administrator
 7.  Ordinary Committee Members (OCM)
 One other quirk is while many on the committee are technically OCM's we have found it is best to name their roles.  
 Currently this would include "1st Year Rep" and "IT Officer".  
 This is especially true for intensive roles such as Treasurer or PRO wherein we have "Assistant Treasurer" or "Assistant PRO".
 #### Skynet Sub-Committee
 Skynet sub-committee is in charge of the Skynet computer cluster.  
 The skynet cluster hosts many of the services for our members and other Clubs/Socs.
 They run, upgrade and train members in use of the cluster.
 #### Advisors
 Advisors are former committee who have been asked to remain part the committee.  
 They provide a "Wisdom of the Ancients", knowledge and experience from their time on committee as well as their current industry connections.
 #### SISTEM Sub-Committee
 This year we are also joined by the SISTEM sub-committee whose goal is to organise and run SISTEM.  
 SISTEM is Ireland's only student run tech conference: https://sistemconf.com/  
 It is the spiritual successor to SkyCon which we used to run.
 ### Please detail the challenges encountered by the society this year. (max 500 words) 
 #### 8 points
 #### GDPR - Virtual Committee Networking
 As part of our work on the Virtual Committee Networking we had to gain GDPR approval.  
 This was the most significant aspect of the 6-month effort as it involved various stakeholders:
 * C&S
 * GDPR Liaison
 * UL Wolves
 During the process we had to show what data we were collecting and to clearly show that it was being stored securely.  
 We were successfully able to gain both C&S and GDPR approval for this venture.
 #### Engagement
 As a Society whose core membership are digital first, inter-personal interactions always pose a difficulty.  
 Understandably our (online) Discord server is a lively hub of activity where alumni are side by side with our college faring members.  
 In person events have always been an area we have had issues keeping attendance numbers up through the year.  
 For the most part this is because our members often prefer the online interactions.  
 The solution we have found is to plan out each semester in advance, scheduling a mix of events, from technical to social.
 We have also done outreach to the students of CSIS, presenting in classes (with permissions of the lecturers) as well as word of mouth.  
 For example we were specifically asked to present to the ISE course.
 ### What systems have been put in place to ensure the continuity of the society and to ensure its ongoing success? (max 400 words) 
 #### 15 points
 #### Training up new committee members
 We are a 30+ year old society whose focus is Computers, however we know that you cannot ensure the continuity you cannot entirely rely on technical solutions for a people problem.
 Training people up with on the job experience is far more invaluable than any handover document.  
 On our current committee we currently have two "assistant" roles:
 * Assistant Treasurer
 * Assistant PRO
 These folks will be stepping up to the core roles in the future, helping to secure our society for (hopefully) another 30 years. 
 #### Advisors
 Advisors are former core committee members who have been asked to stay (somewhat) involved in Computer Society.  
 The goal of this is to be able to draw upon their experiences and council in order to guide the society forward.  
 Because of Covid the "Training up new committee members" faced difficulties, however we were able to draw upon our alumni in order to carry on.  
 We did loose a solid chunk of institutional knowledge but with their help we were able to rebuild and forge a new path forward.
 #### Open Governance + Wiki
 A phrase in industry is "If its not written down it never happened", exemplifies how important good written documentation/notes are.  
 This is where the "Handover Documents" which all C&S have to do come into play.  
 These have one major problem though, they are hidden away and folks rarely actually read through them.
 Our first way of tackling it is Open Governance, an idea we nabbed from DCU's computer society. (https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Computer_Society/open-goverance)
 In it we have important materials such as Minutes, Event details, our Constitution, our Logos and Handover Documents, not to mention the text in this Awards Submission. (https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Computer_Society/open-goverance/src/branch/main/Committee/2024-2025/Awards/Best_Society.md)    
 All this information is public (transparency) and constantly made available to our members.
 Our second public information cache is our Wiki (https://wiki.skynet.ie/).  
 This contains much of the knowledge of how to run the Skynet Cluster.  
 Our president is currently doing his FYP on this aspect of the society, documenting as much as possible in order to hand the torch forward.
 We want to instill this transparency mentality into our members, so we are trying to lead by example in doing so.  
 If we ever fail to pass on the torch these repositories of information should be a catalyst to Reboot the Computer Society in the future.
 ### Detail the society's membership. (max 400 words)
 #### 10 points
 #### Membership Growth
 We are currently sitting at 133 members (109 being current students) which is an increase compared to the 122 we had by the end of last year (2023/2024).  
 This is significantly up from a low of 84 in 2020/2021 wherein 60 were alumni (~24 current students).  
 The current growth is largely due to previous committees hard work laying a solid foundation for us.
 #### Communication
 As a very digital based society we do make use of many online methods to communicate with our members.
 * Discord
 * Email
 * Instagram
 However we do, from time to time use physical posters to advertise to a wider audience.
 #### Diversity
 We are diverse, its (quietly) a core part of our identity as a society, we dont really want (or need) to shout from the rooftops about it.  
 However last year many of the husts made it a central part of their presentation, so here is something which should give you a solid idea of who we are.  
 You will find many of our members are also part of Games, Games Development and Anime & Manga, which you would expect.  
 History, International, Out in UL, Philosophy & Debating are also places you will find them.  
 For the more hands on folks they find their way to Aeronautical and IEEE.  
 If they are feeling adventurous then Outdoor pursuits and Underwater Hockey may beckon them.
 ### Please list the number and variety of events held
 #### 15 points
 Since September 2024 we have had 14 unique events, if we go back to this time last year that rises to 26 events.  
 This high number of unique events stems from the fact that we cannot go to PyCon each week, not do an "Introduction to Git", if we did our attendance would fall through the floor.
 * Minecraft Lan
 * Quiz with Games Dev
 * Licenses Presentation
 * Domain + Hosting
 * Treasure Hunt
 * RetroPi
 * Modded Minecraft Server Opening
 * Intro to the Society
 * Skynet + Git
 * Virtual Machines!
 * Game Dev Collab
 * Server building with NetApp (sponsored)
 * Capture The Flag
 * PyCon Refresher
 * PyCon
 * Advent of Code Primer
 * Lightning Talks
 * Intro to Skynet, Discord and Minecraft
 * Patch Presentation (sponsored)
 Not counted in "events" are the C&S Fairs where we, along with OPC setup and teardown.  
 In our case for the September Fair we provide the networking for the event.
 On top of all that we have Skynet Training weekly, this is where the Knowledge Transfer about the Skynet cluster happens.  
 Or upgrades are done, or troubleshooting an issue happens.  
 These are less planned sessions but allow members to geek out about enterprise grade servers and technology.
 ## Finance
 ### Details of income and expenditure?
 #### 5 points
 (Is this question for BICS? There is no good way to paste in our balance sheet from Wolves without spending several hours transcribing it manually.)
 Our budget is currently healthy and has been for the past few years.
 ### Describe how you managed your finances this year. (max 300 words)
 #### 5 points
 #### Wolves
 Our online platform, UL Wolves, has inbuilt budget management, we use this to manage our cash flow.
 Primary responsibility lies with our Treasurer.
 #### Banking
 We use Bank of Ireland, which has a branch just outside the entrance of UL.  
 Each year to transfer access we fill out and submit the banking Mandate, followed by the Online change of admins form.  
 The mandate requires the treasurer and two other core committee members.  
 There is also a section for the previous signatories to sign.  
 When signing it one year we pre-sign the previous signatories section for the next committee, saves having us having to follow up with them.  
 #### Workflow
 There are many times where we will need to buy something small from a local shop, the procedure for this is:
 * A chosen committee member buys the item, ensuring they get a receipt.
  * Paying by card is preferred as a screenshot of the transaction can be obtained.
 * A copy of the receipt as well as the transaction screenshot is uploaded to the Societies file server in a specific folder.
 * Treasurer refunds the member via bank transfer.
 * Details is entered into the Wolves Budget System.
 ### Please provide details of the success securing funds for the running of the society. (max 300 words) 
 #### 5 points
 There are three main areas where we obtain the funds to run the UL Computer society:
 * Membership fees
 * UL Clubs and Societies
 * Sponsorship
 #### Membership Fees
 We charge a nominal fee of €5 for membership for the year which nets us a reasonable (consistant) income.
 #### UL Clubs and Societies
 From C&S we have two sources of funding.
 The first is that C&S matches (or tries to) all of Clubs and Societies income from the previous year.  
 This acts as a leaver and allows us to host larger events with out needing to penny pinch.
 Secondly we, along with OPC, help setup, do networking and teardown the C&S Recruitment Fair.  
 For this C&S pay the Society for its service.
 #### Sponsorships
 Sponsorships are the most interesting source of funds as it requires us to make connections in enterprise.  
 Often along with the financial sponsorship the sponsor also wants to have a significant involvement in an event.  
 This has the added beneficent of giving our members an opportunity to network and aspire to reach interesting employers.
 In this past year we have had these significant sponsors:
 * Netapp
 * LERO
 * Patch
 ## Communication, Engagement & Publicity 
 ### Please outline all aspects (both digital and non-digital) of your communication and publicity this year. (max 800 words) 
 #### 14 points
 For publicity we use a variety of methods as the year progresses.  
 * Class Presentations
 * Word of Mouth
 * C&S Fair
 * Posters
 * Discord
 * Instagram
 * Email
 #### Class Presentations
 At the start of the year we contact some of the prior lecturers we have had who we are on friendly terms with and ask if we can use 5-10 minutes of one of their classes to talk about Computer Society.  
 We typically use these presentations to inspire the students.  
 Since our events cover hardware, software, electronics and industry contacts, some of which are hard to come across during the normal coursework we often finds it falls on curious ears.
 We do cool but niche and nerdy stuff that many of the students find fascinating.
 #### Word of Mouth
 One of our most powerful tools for publicity is word of mouth.  
 Its all good and grand when we go up on stage and give a presentation, but its so so much better when its a classmate or friend doing the same.  
 Folks will often go "My friend would love this, I'll bring them to that next event".
 #### C&S Fair
 The C&S Fair is an event run by C&S to promote all Clubs and Societies.  
 It allows prospective members to meet the committee, see some of the stuff we have to show off as well as ask questions.  
 We have found that setting up near interest adjacent Clubs/Societies such as Games Development, Games and Anime & Manga does wonders to introduce folks to Computer Society.  
 United we thrive.
 #### Posters
 For many events we commission posters from out PRO(s).  
 These are often used in our email and Discord announcements.  
 For major events we will print some out and hang them around the campus, sometimes in "interesting" places.
 YOu can find an archive of 2023/2024 posters here: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Computer_Society/open-goverance/src/branch/main/Events/2023-2024/Posters
 For 2024/2025 they are alongside the event pages (jpeg and png): https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Computer_Society/open-goverance/src/branch/main/Events/2024-2025
 #### Discord
 On our Discord (https://discord.skynet.ie) we have two announcements channels, one for general Society events as well as another specifically for Skynet.  
 This is the best place we can promote events to our current members since almost all of our active membership are on it.
 Occasionally for large scale events we promote on other Clubs/Societies Discords as well.
 #### Instagram
 Instagram is good for reaching outside our core demographics, specifically when we are doing collab events with other Clubs/Societies.  
 The posters are extremely useful for this as well.
 #### Email
 Our final form of communication is Email.  
 While it is not as fancy as Discord or Instagram it is reliable, it has worked for 33 years and will work for 33 more.
 ### Please give one example of a campaign that was successful and the impact this had on the target audience? (max 500 words) 
 #### 6 points
 #### Quiz with Games Dev
 At the tail end of last year we held a Collab event with Games Development.  
 Part of the goal of the event was to promote Games Dev as a Society, the other part was to have it as a mixer.  
 One hurdle we had to overcome was that it was a paid event, nominal cost yes, but out members are used to our events being free to attend.  
 Another hurdle was it was being held in the Pavilion, which is on the far side of campus so we had to get folks to travel over there on their own accord.
 To promote this event we went all out, the usual Discord and Email announcements.  
 Through our friendship with other Clubs/Societies we also promoted on their discords.  
 Posters were done up and plastered across campus, the normal places yes, but also the more novel/wierd places.
 We also "kidnapped" friends and classmates to go to the quiz.
 The result was a success and a nice melding of the two societies as well as several newcomers who just thought a pub quiz would be good fun.  
 To top it all off the winners got comically large wooden spoons.

 # Society Individual of the Year
 Page: https://cp.ulwolves.ie/committee/awards/2025/s_person
 ## 1. Detail your involvement with a society/societies this year? How have you helped the society/societies you're involved in develop and grow this year? (Max 1500 words)
 Brendan Golden is the president/system administrator of UL Computer Society. 
 He helped forge connections with Games, Games Development, and the Anime & Manga societies.
 He even helped the latter two in setting up.
 He was instrumental in the development of the UL Computer Society, coordinating committee members in preparing several unique events for the entire academic year.
 He also rebooted Skynet, UL Computer Society's in-house server cluster.
 Brendan is responsible for most, if not all, of UL Computer Society's modern server infrastructure.
 ## 2. What are your THREE proudest achievements with societies this year?
 ### — Achievement 1 (5 Marks) (Max 250 words)
 Brendan upgraded and revitalized Skynet and has self-organized regular training sessions to others on how to use it. 
 His hands-on training has helped our members learn and use subjects such as server infrastructure outside an academic environment without the stressors and consequences of a professional environment. 
 The training also helped enthusiasts find their passions and niches within the field of computing.
 Since his Final Year Project was related to providing Documentation & Training for Skynet, he provided plenty of documentation and training for society members of any skill-level to be able to use the server.
 ### — Achievement 2 (5 Marks) (Max 250 words)
 Brendan was instrumental in the development of the Inter-Soc Committee member Discord server
 This server helped build a common space for committee members of all participating societies to coordinate and network with one another. 
 This has helped encourage discussions and collaborations between societies.
 ### — Achievement 3 (5 Marks) (Max 250 words) 
 Brendan was responsible for helping provide a common space for all students in the Computer Science and Information Systems Department. 
 This helped them to socialize and interact with their passion in an open and friendly environment outside class and their career. 
 This has improved the social lives of many students in the department, and better prepared them for a good post-college life.
 ## 3. What significant contribution have you made to the society/societies you were involved in during previous years of college? (Max 500 words)
 Brendan's most significant contribution made to UL Computer Society was the development of Skynet, the society's in-house server cluster. 
 Using it, he was able to host minecraft servers for multiple societies, such as Games Society. 
 Additionally, he helped build Open Governance.
 Open Governance is a system that allows the public to access information regarding decision-making, event information, and other important insights into current and past Committees. 
 This fosters a culture of openness and transparency regarding why certain decisions were made within the society.
 ## 4. Explain the top 2 challenges you encountered in your society work this year?
 ### — Challenge 1 (5 Marks) (Max 200 words)
 One of the biggest challenges Brendan faced was implementing GDPR regulations while setting up the Inter-Society Networking Server. 
 This was a challenge because it required a lot of back and forth with the C&S office to ensure that the server was compliant with GDPR regulations.
 The server also included innovative features like automatic addition and removal from the server based on Committee status.
 ### — Challenge 2 (5 Marks) (Max 200 words)
 Another challenge he encountered was organizing multiple events of different types every week.
 This required a lot of coordination between committee members to ensure that events were prepared in time. 
 This was because the Computer Society adopted a model of having unique events every week.
 This was done instead of the normal model of having regular weekly events to alternate between technical and social events and keep things fresh.
 This required a lot of coordination between committee members to ensure that events were prepared in time.
 ## 5.  How have you worked as part of a team and how have you motivated others within the society this year? (Max 400 words) 10 points 
 His contribution to the UL Computer Society's committee has been invaluable. 
 He acted as the leader of the committee, which covered a variety of topics.
 This included coordinating members towards preparing budgets, working on Skynet, and organizing events. 
 He also regularly checked in on Committee members and offered help wherever needed, going well beyond what was expected of him to help our members.
 His actions helped motivate a sense of responsibility among committee members and helped us create a friendly atmosphere in the committee and the society at large.
 ## 6.  How has your societies' work impacted campus life in your college this year? (Max 200 words) 5 points 
 The UL Computer Society's work has had a significant impact on campus life.
 For example, it gave students studying in Computer Science and similar subjects a common space to socialize and interact with other like-minded people with similar interests. 
 This helps students engage with the computer-related passions outside the classroom and their career and foster connections.
 Additionally, we've offered many students a place to find respite from events like fresher's week.
 This allowed people who don't participate in those events to still have a place to socialize and not feel left out.
 ## 7. Please describe two skills that you have developed as part of your society work that have prepared you for your post-college life.
 ### — Skill 1 (5 Marks) (Max 250 words)
 The main skill Brendan said he learned during his time as president of the UL Computer Society was leadership skills, which would be instrumental in his career and future development. 
 These leadership skills contributed to him being a great leader and manager of people, which would surely help him greatly in his post-college life.
 ### — Skill 2 (5 Marks) (Max 250 words) 
 He also learnt other important soft skills like communication, networking, and teamwork, which are essential in maintaining a good life both during and after college. 
 These skills were developed from being in a leadership role in the UL Computer Society for several years.

 ## Overview
 Advent of Code (AoC) is an annual programming event where you use any programming language (or even pen+paper) to solve 50 problems.  
 It features a cute story and is a good test of a novice developers progression.  
 The downside for us is it hits straight in exam season.

 Next week, we're having an interactive Capture The Flag Event!
 The goal is to use my beloved, the *terminal*, to capture a "flag" hidden somewhere.
 CTF's goal is to give folks an understanding of terminals, commands, navigating file systems, and the basics of commands that you NEED as a programmer.
 PLEASE BRING A LAPTOP.
 YOU CANNOT NAVIGATE FILE STRUCTURES IN YOUR MIND.
 WE TRIED THAT.
 Something something hackerman
 The event's gonna be on from 6:00 - 8:30, on Wednesday, in the Courtyard Room, in the Student Life Building.

+### Destination & justification for choosing this location?
-This is a trip to London, UK and Prague, Czech Republic.  
+The International Conference on Social Media and Cloud Computing (ICSMCC-25) is being held in Berlin on the 24th and 25th of May.  
 This conference is a research based conference where we expect our members to gain an increased understanding of the cutting edge of some of the topics covered in UL.  
 It will also provide our members with international networking opportunities.
-We plan to fly to London where we will spend 4 days.   
+The city also hosts an impressive collection of technological based museums, to know where we (and technology) is going we must first know where we have been.  
-The main reason we plan to go to London is to see Bletchley Park where during the second world war they cracked the enigma code.   
+These cover everything from early mechanical computers, to technology used during wartime and the cold war, right up to near modern day.
 Alan Turing was the one who did this.   
 London is also the biggest tech city in Europe.  
 Other attractions we plan to visit included are the science museum, the Greenwich Observatory and the Faraday Museum.  
-We will then be heading to Prague to visit some more museums and attractions.    
+### Context
-We will be visiting the National Technical Museum.  
+#### Can this be done locally?  (Saying yes does not mean the trip won’t be approved):
-There is also one of the largest Lego Museums in Prague we plan to have a look at. There is also a Museum of Senses that looks very interesting.  
+No
 Prague has a lot of reminders and museums about the cold war which we think would be interesting for our members. There is a Nuclear Bunker that we can take a tour of.  
-We will give members a chance on travel days to do some sight-seeing, but we will be emphasising that we are not flying to London just to see the London Eye or the Crown Jewels.  
+#### If yes, why select a location abroad?
-The focus will be on the museums, exhibits and society development.  
+ICSMCC and its content is not easy to find in Ireland.
-We have looked into the possible effects of the Ukraine Russia situation on our travels, but we believe it shouldn’t affect the Czech Republic Covid also shouldn’t impact us next year as most countries and flights in Europe are back to normal.   
+Additionally Ireland does not have a long history with tech, this translates to us having no tech based museums.
 Social distancing mandates etc have mostly been reduced/removed in the countries we will be visiting and by next year they should be gone entirely.
-### 05 - What is the developmental reason for this trip?
+#### How will this trip upskill/enhance training and the Clubs and Socs experience of members?
-The developmental reason for the trip is that the members of the Computer Society are very interested in learning more about the history of technology, computing, electronics and its application.   
+Our primary reason for the trip is to attend an industry/academic  conference which will provide an experience they cannot be obtained in Ireland.  
-The museums that we have picked showcase some extremely interesting exhibits on computing and technology. Some other museums and exhibits we plan to visit are to inspire and learn about the history of technology and computing.  
+Aside from that Berlin is home to many museums which cover many aspects of computer history, from early mechanical days, to use of computers in the cold war to more modern such as the fledgling computer games industry.  
-Our trip in 2019 before Covid helped to develop the society both socially and in relation to knowledge of tech from the past and how far it has come.
+The museums that we have picked showcase some fascinating exhibits on computing and technology.   
 Some other museums and exhibits we plan to visit are to inspire and learn about the history of technology and computing.  
-### 06 - How much is the overall cost?
+#### How does this link to your club or society?
-The trip will roughly cost €13067.00-€16088.80, broken down by flights, accommodation, transport and museum tickets for 20 people.  
+We are Computer society, so attending a conference on cloud computing is right up our alley.  
-Depending on how much the society covers (€0-€7000) the cost for the individual will be €303.35-€804.44, see the table below for more information.  
+That is not even mentioning how wartime, specifically the cold war helped propelled computing forward.
 #### Is this the first time this trip is proposed?
 Yes this is the first time this trip has been proposed.
 ### 07 - Is this the first time this trip is proposed?
 We saw how successful our trip was in 2019 and because of being unable to go for the past few years with COVID we wanted to up the trip capacity again this year.   
 From a quick gauge of interest in the society it seems like we have a lot of interest for the trip.  
 This has made us decided to go from 15 to 20 spaces on the trip.
-### 08 - How will you advertise this trip?
+
 #### How will you advertise this trip?
 We will be sending out an email to all members and advertising this event on our Discord and Instagram page.   
 We also plan to have an information meeting and presentation.
-### 09 - How do people sign up for the trip?
+#### How do people sign up for the trip?
-There will be a sign up at our events and at the information presentation.
+Sign up will be via Wolves.
-### 10 - Are there selection criteria?
+#### Is there selection criteria?
-The Computer Society Committee will ask each candidate why they intend to travel on the trip through email.   
+All candidates must be in good standing in the Society.  
-The committee will then review these answers and select individuals to attend the trip, also taking into account the candidates participation in the society.   
+In certain cases the committee reserve the right to refuse admittance.
 The committee reserve the right to refuse trip attendance to any member provided a valid reason is given by the committee.

+#### What is the breakdown (Undergrad, Postgrad, Alumni, Other) of the different membership types?
 At least two thirds of the available twenty spaces on the trip will be reserved for undergraduate/postgraduate UL students who are members of the society.  
 The other third will be offered to other Computer Society members (e.g. alumni or external members) but higher preference will be given to undergraduate/postgraduate students.

 \section{Grievance Procedure}\label{sec:grievance-procedure}
 The Clubs and Societies are voluntary social, recreational and leisure clubs who run activities for students and staff of the University of Limerick to enjoy in their leisure time.\\
 In this regard, we would hope that Club \& Society members will get along with each other without any grievances arising.\\
 However, we do understand that from time to time, grievances caused by misunderstanding, disagreement or general dissatisfaction may occur among Club members.\\
 Full recognition is given to the significance of personal grievances and it is our policy that all grievances will be dealt without undue delay and resolved at the earliest possible stage
 \begin{enumerate}
    \item In the first instance, it is expected that any Club member with a grievance will attempt to resolve it informally by speaking with the individual(s) concerned in an attempt to resolve the issue amicably.\\
    If a resolution is agreed at this stage, both members involved should agree to put the issue behind them for the good of the Club/Society.
    \item If the member experiencing the grievance does not feel confident in approaching the individual(s) concerned, they should speak to a member of the Club/Society committee and explain their grievance to them.\\
    The committee member should facilitate a meeting between the member and the individual concerned with a view to resolving the grievance as quickly and amicably as possible.\\
    This meeting should take place within five days of the member raising the grievance.
    \item If there is no agreement at this stage, the member experiencing the grievance should submit their grievance in writing to the Club committee.\\
    The committee should appoint two members of the committee to investigate the grievance within five days of receiving the grievance.\\
    The investigation should be done through meeting both parties involved in the grievance and any other person who the two members consider appropriate.\\
    Minutes should be taken at the meeting and a report of the findings prepared.\\
    A decision should be made by the two members as to what the outcome of the grievance is.\\
    his information should then be presented to both parties of the grievance.\\
    Those investigating the grievance should aim to resolve the grievance within ten days of receiving the grievance. 
    \item If either party is unhappy with the outcome of the investigation into the grievance, they should appeal the decision to the Clubs and Societies Executive Committee outlining the reasons for the appeal within seven working days of receiving the outcome of the grievance.\\
    The Clubs and Societies Executive Committee should appoint two members to hear the appeal meeting within five days of receiving the appeal.\\
    An investigatory meeting should take place if necessary and a decision made within ten days of receiving the appeal. 
    \item It is expected that at any stage at which resolution is achieved that the members will agree to work together in harmony for the sake of the other members of the Club.
 \end{enumerate} 
 \section{Bullying \& Harassment Procedures}\label{sec:bullying-&-harassment-procedures}
 There is both an informal and formal procedure to deal with the issue of bullying/harassment within the clubs.\\
 It is our aim that any investigation that takes place will be completed as quickly as possible.
 \subsection{Informal Procedure}\label{subsec:informal-procedure}
 It is often preferable for all concerned that complaints of bullying or harassment are dealt with informally whenever possible.\\
 While in no way diminishing the issue or the effects on individuals, an informal approach can often resolve matters more effectively.\\
 As a general rule therefore, an attempt should be made to address allegation of bullying/harassment as informally as possible by means of an agreed informal procedure.\\
 The objective of this approach is to resolve the diﬃculty quickly and effectively, with the minimum of conflict and stress for the individuals.
 Any member who believes he or she is being bullied/harassed should explain clearly to the alleged perpetrator(s) that the behaviour in question is unacceptable.\\
 In circumstances where the member finds it diﬃcult to approach the alleged perpetrator(s) directly, he or she should seek help and advice, on a strictly confidential basis, from a fellow member of the Club.\\
 The fellow club member can be a support for the complainant in approaching the alleged perpetrator to explain the reasons they feel they are being bullied or harassed.\\
 It is recognised that it may not always be practical to use the informal procedure, particularly where the harassment/bullying is of a very serious nature.
 \subsection{Formal Procedure}\label{subsec:formal-procedure}
 If an informal approach is inappropriate or if, after the informal stage, the bullying/harassment persist, the following formal procedures should be invoked:
 \begin{enumerate}
    \item The complainant should make a formal complaint, in writing, to the Club committee detailing precise details of actual incidents of bullying/harassment; for example, state the name of the alleged perpetrator, the nature of the complaint, dates and times of when the incidents occurred, witnesses, and any action that the complainant may already have taken, if any.
    \item The alleged perpetrator(s) should be notified in writing that an allegation of bullying has been made against them.\\
    They should be given a copy of the complainant’s statement as soon as is practicable and advised that they shall be afforded a fair opportunity to respond to the allegation(s), within specified time limits.\\
    No outcome regarding the complaint will be made until a full and fair investigation has taken place. 
    \item Before commencing an investigation, the Club committee may take the decision to exclude the alleged perpetrator from any Club activities while the investigation is ongoing if it is deemed appropriate.\\
    This in no way implies any wrong doing on the part of the perpetrator but will be taken as a cautionary measure to prevent exacerbating the situation between the complainant and the alleged perpetrator. 
    \item The Club/Society committee will appoint two members of the committee who will be tasked with investigating the complaint.\\
    They will prepare clear terms of reference which outline the background to the complaint, who should be interviewed through the course of the investigation and the timeline in which to resolve the complaint. 
    \item Meetings will be arranged with the complainant, the alleged perpetrator and any other person who the two members consider appropriate.\\
    All will be asked to respond to the complaint and detail their version of events.\\
    Both parties and witnesses have the right to be accompanied by a representative at all meetings.\\

 \section{Legal Protocol}\label{sec:legal-protocol2}
 Clubs’ and Societies’ Protocol on Legal Proceedings [Passed 24/02/09]
 \subsection{Step 1}\label{subsec:step-1}
 A formal request must be made from a Club or Society to the Clubs \& Societies Executive prior to any legal advises being sought to the Clubs \& Societies Executive.\\
 The formal request will be in written form outlining in detail the time line of alleged grievance and how it effects the clubs activities or good name.\\
 Full disclosure of all documents and correspondences (email, phone calls, text, web) must be made available to the Clubs \\& Societies Executive.\\
 The written request must be accompanied by a signed declaration by the committee that the information contained within is truthful and an accurate account of the issue in question.
 \subsection{Step 2}\label{subsec:step-2}
 The Clubs \& Societies Executive will convene and the issue will form part of their weekly meetings on the oﬃcial agenda.\\
 Clubs \& Society Executive members with membership of the club or society in dispute must declare all aﬃliations and vacate the meeting where conflict of interest arises.\\
 The Clubs \& Societies Executive shall request the signatories of the initial formal request to attend a meeting in person of the Clubs \& Societies Executive prior to a decision being made to grant or reject the request for referral to the ULSU solicitor.\\
 A majority decision is required from the Clubs voting members of the C\&S Executive and a majority of the Society voting members of C\&S Executive in order to grant permission for the issue to be referred for legal advice to the ULSU solicitor by the applicant club/society.\\
 In the event of conflicts of interest it will be a majority of the remaining voting members of the Clubs \& Societies Executive.
 \subsection{Step 3}\label{subsec:step-3}
 When a legal opinion has been offered, it must be disclosed in full to the Clubs \& Societies Executive.\\
 Each subsequent request to proceed from one legal action/proceeding to another will be subject to approval by the Clubs \& Societies Executive on the basis of legal opinion and the ``majority decision basis''.
 \subsection{Step 4}\label{subsec:step-4}
 Clubs \& Societies Executive retain the right to sanction or reject the initiation of any legal action or proceeding subject to the legal advises at any time.\\
