It's been a while...

So, it's a been a bit since I posted on this blog (Sorry guys, uni life and that) but my word has things changed since last year. To say it was eventful would be an understatement.

We got a new committee. We got a whole new society. We got new crafts (not just Hama Beads anymore lads). We even managed to get some new costumes done! It has been nothing less of roller coaster.

Being someone who has been a committee member from the start, I can this year was the hardest one of all. It was almost like starting the society up all over again. All the other committee members left, all but two of the society members left, and we had barely any equipment. However as soon as the first semester started up everything seemed to fall into place. We got a whole new society, a new and enthusiastic committee, a whole load of new equipment and we had hope that this year would be good. And it went that way. Although we had a committee member change over half way through, it did not stop us running sessions and keeping things going. It just meant that the current society and committee had to work together to keep things running smoothly until we found a suitable replacement. The way everyone banded together made me so proud of them.

Aside from committee changes, the society also changed up what they did this year. So last year was a lot of Hama Beads. We will admit it, we know it was. It was again until we had the change up. And then the change up really set in. We went from hama beads to doing shrink plastic badges, sewing sessions, pillows, and even christmas decorations for a Christmas dinner for the elderly. And that’s just in sessions. We had pizza socials, games socials, ice cream, movies; even a Maccies social! It was a big change from what we usually do, and the society seemed to really enjoy it! I think the best one was the costume social with Alumni Members.

We decided that we all needed a little reunion with the old members, so we invited them back for a little costume session where we showed off our newest outfits. It was a surprising success! We had people who have never cosplayed before going all out and it was impressive. It's the first time in a long time where we had a full society cosplay session so it was good to bring the old guys back and all have fun with our hobby.

This society has dealt with so much through out this year, both good and bad, however we've made it to the last semester and we're going to still be a society next year. Not a lot of societies can say that they have dealt with the amount of things we've dealt with and can still be a surviving society. I'm proud of this society and I can't wait to see what happens next year (When I remember to update this again)


See you next year!
