Club Sections and General Committee

Each section of the Club, other than the Alumni Section, is run by Cambridge University students - the Head of Section, who can be contacted via the email links below, plus a committee of student officers. These officers are listed after the General Committee block below and can be contacted via each section's website, which can be accessed via the graphic links on the Home page. Sections holds their officer and committee elections in the Easter (Summer) Term.

Overall coordination of the Club is maintained the General Committee, whose members can be contacted via the email links below. The General Committee meets at least once a term to discuss matters arising from section meetings and consider important business such as proposals for large expenditure. The General Committee has some older members who facilitate continuity and ensure that the Club's finances remain secure in the long term as well as earning useful income. The officers and members of the General Committee, other than Heads of Sections, are elected at the Club's Annual General Meeting.
