Re-registration for societies and sports teams

The re-registration form for societies and sports teams is due on the 8th of September. We need you to fill out our form so we can allocate a table for your society for the upcoming Freshers' Fayre and to know who to contact regarding important society comms.
We do not need full committees at this point. We just need to know whether you're continuing, a main contact for your club and details for welcome week and freshers.
Forms attached below:

We will assume that societies who haven’t filled in this form by end of day Friday have been disbanded.
Contact st104@soas.ac.uk if you need any help filling it out and we will see you all at freshers!!

Finally, remember that as a student you can register to vote at two addresses (although you can only vote once during General Elections).
This means that you'll be able to vote in local elections taking place next year and you'll be able to vote from your term time address if a General Election is called, and it's likely that one will take place during or before Autumn next year. You can register to vote at your term time address here.
Guidance about who can vote is available here: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-8985/
