Committee

President

Hello Physoc Peoples! My name is Charlie & I’ll be looking after Physoc as the society’s President for 2010/2011. The role of President involves insuring there is clear communication between students, society and staff, as well as making sure the society achieves its targets. Some of my personal goals for the year include improving the presentation of Physoc (hoodie/poster/website design), providing communication-skills development opportunities & enhancing the business focus of the society. Feel free to get in touch with me online, or in person, if you would like more information about your society, would like to get involved, or have any comments. See you at the next social!

Socials

Hello! We are Sam and Poppy, events reps for Physoc. We organise the weekly socials all the beautiful people that make up the society. We aim to organise cheap, varied socials on different days of the week to attract the largest possible variety of people and biggest possible turnout. And it’s not all about drinking, we try to have just as many non-alcoholic socials as alcoholic ones and make both equally enticing! We’re open to suggestions and actively try to consult the general physics public on whether they think our ideas are going to be successful, so if you have any ideas, complaints, love letters or hate mail for either of us, please email!
Love you all! xx

Academic

The role of Academic Officer is under new management. My name is Olly Morris and some of you will already know that. I am finishing up 4th year before starting a Phd and thought I would use my experience of the system to be the person you come and chat to when you think things need to be improved academically. My favourite colour is blue and my favourite Physoc position is Academic. Good.

Outreach

Physoc Outreach is entering its second year now and aims to offer children a range of experiments from DIY jam jar fountains to liquid nitrogen experiments. The purpose of this is to encourage young people that science is fun and interesting and to hopefully influence them enough that they might consider it later in life. Currently we are creating video’s of different experiments so that at short notice they can be reproduced in a demonstration or sent ahead to a teacher to show what we can demonstrate. Our scheme is advertised towards primary schools however we may expand further in the future into secondary school science classes.
If you are interested in getting involved then please contact me either by signing up to the mailing list or, if you want a more active role in planning, email me.

Sports

Hi there, Im Espen the sports rep for physoc. Whatever you level there is plenty of opportunity to represent physoc and keep fit. We have many teams in the intramural competitions such as 11 aside/6 aside football, netball, rugby, basketball, badminton, squash and rounders. We also run inter physics 5-aside football leagues and have annual pool tournaments. Any questions please contact me.

Webmaster

My name’s Alex and I run the Physoc website, and sometimes take care of the delicious weekly newsletters all Southampton physicists recieve. For the technically minded, the site is running on Ruby on Rails hosted with Heroku, using git as version control. I also make sure everybodies emails are in check, and lots of other interesting stuff. If you’ve got any questions about the running of the site, or encounter a bug, please contact me.

IoP Rep

The job of IoP rep is to help you all rediscover you love of all subjects related to physics through the link we have established over many years with the Institute of Physics. My plan for the next eight months is to get as many of you as possible signed up as members of the instutution (short plug – its free!), get some cool speakers into chat about their research, to get us interacting with other IoP physics societies and to maintain our general best-in-the-country awesomeness! If anyone is interested in knowing more just stop me when you see me out and about, or email me.

Balls

Hi! I’m Holly, with the help of many lovely people I organise a summer and winter ball for you to hopefully enjoy. I’m always looking for ideas and helpers so get in touch if it sounds like your kind of thing, just email me. That’s all for now, I’ll get back to reppin’ your balls.

Secretary

Hey guys. My name’s Matt, and this is my second year on physoc. Not much to say really. I take the minutes, write the occasional agenda, and try and stop Charlie from thinking about me in a short skirt.

Freshers’ Rep

Hey! I’m Matt and the current freshers’ rep. That means I represent all you lovely fresh faced people that aren’t sure what to expect when you get here. As well as that I’m the one to come and talk to if and when problems develop throughout your first year of studies. I’ll also be assigning you some amazing parents who will help guide you along the way. If you ever need to contact me, never hesitate to email me or grab me (be gentle) for a chat if you see me around. Ciao!
