Committee 2010/11

B-Boys B-Girls

The next academic is upon us and to get ready the committee has decided to start preparing now.

Getting down n' dirty:

Over the next few months we will be handing over the committee roles and having meetings to discuss how we can make Cubic a better society for you.
To do this we will be reviewing classes, social events, clothing, workshops, jams, events and much more. If you would like to attend or listen in on the meetings you are welcome just email one of us or simply come along and show up as we will send out details of meetings and such by email facebook and the blog.

The committee roles have been decided at the Annual General Meeting and i would like to give a warm welcome and introduce the following members:

B-Girl Sarra - She is your new president taking over from Ali; contact her if you want her to organise performances that you can be involved in for your Ents, Bops, Balls and other events on sa502@cam.ac.uk

B-Girl Jumoye is the new vice president taking over from Marcus - she will team up with Sarra to run the club as Vice-Prez and will answer all your queries including classes and social events that you ask her in person or send to our committee address (breakdance@cusu.cam.ac.uk).

B-Boy Wattsy (Steve) who you may know from teaching some of the classes last year will still be teaching but this year he will be taking over from Matt Lim by becoming the new Treasurer, please speak to him regarding membership details, classes and anything like that. In addition to this Steve also helps organise open training sessions at St Paul's on a Friday and Sunday, which at the moment is in addition to current training. You can email him on the following: stevendwatts@googlemail.com

Next up is B-Boy JoeFlow who is taking on the role of Jams/Events and Workshops organiser.
He will be letting you know of jams and events throughout the country which we will go to as a crew to check out how other BBoys battle and get down in the cyphers and when confident enough you can enter battle competitions such as the uni bboy champs which we will be looking to do as its been a long time since a Uni Crew from Cambridge has represented. Also if you're really keen you can speak to him about events that take place in other countries! Overall he can let you know of dates, times and transport and he will also be arranging special one-off workshops where a highly publicised bboy will come and teach a class which will all be funded by the society.

Last but not least i will introduce some friendly faces that have been around for a long time so when none of the above people are about or even if they are you can always speak to one of the following that's if they haven't already come over and spoken to you first!
