Throughout this academic year, there were no major grievances other than the resignation of 2 committee members, our Health & Saftety Officer and our Assistant PRO, we replaced the HSO in an AGM and the Assistant PRO's duties were split amongst our Events officer and the incoming HSO by mutual agreement.
For bank statements, any that we received throughout the academic year were uploaded to wolves, though we stopped getting them after semester one despite checking the post regularly.
For dealing with money, there was a delay in getting access to the bank account again, though this was rectified in the later half of semester 2 and all creditors are now paid up.

Details
Over the course of our year, we had our 21 events listed on wolves.
We had a regular weekly activity on Wednesday.
We utilized our Discord Server and emails to inform our members of upcoming events and opportunities.
Our Discord server was our social hub of communication between members and committee, and between members.
Midway through Semester two however, we started having a regular bi-weekly Minecraft event on Saturdays.
These were announced primarily through Discord.
We used graphic design for our posters, but were used minimally and reserved for larger announcements such as our regular weekly activity.
