On Wednesday, we held an Internationally-themed Lit Circle before our AGM. We wrote poetry in the form of Haiku (one member even wrote a Haiku in Japanese!) and Limericks (though technically these may have been an English invention, not Irish). Then we moved onto writing stories in the style of folklore popular in Western Africa and the Carribean in which a small animal outwits a larger animal. Finally, we wrote magical realism stories with time acting in weird ways and featuring neologisms (new words), as popularised by the South American Boom in the 1960s and 70s. We had another task prepared but unfortunately didn't have time. Maybe you could try it out? Mathnawi (also known as Masnavi) is a type of poetry popular in Persian cultures. It consists of rhyming couplets (AABBCC...) and often has didactic or romantic themes. This Lit Circle was themed around different cultures as part of the SU's International Festival Week. Why not try writing something yourself and don’t forget to submit anything you’re happy with to the blog! After the Lit Circle, we held our AGM. Online voting is currently open and we will officially know the new soon! (Sorry for the blurry photo, it was taken by the President who isn't as good at taking photos as me💁🏼‍♀️)

Voting for committee is now OPEN!!! Head on over to our su page and cast your vote!! Polls close 11pm on Wednesday 20th March. Don’t forget to vote!✨✨✨

Throwback to this time last week when we had our RPG social. This was a collaboration with RPG society where we first created a world and then played in it. Thanks to everyone who came!
