Our next committee member is our Social Secretary, Thomas (he/him)
Degree?
Medical Sciences 4th year
Event(s)?
800m
What was your first experience of athletics?
Getting disgracefully drunk at the welcome week bbq, but thankfully no one judged too much!
What strengths do you bring to your committee role?

Now for our Publicity and Vice-Social Secretary, Luke (he/him)
Degree?
4th Year English Literature
Event(s)?
100/200/possibly 400m this year!
What was your first experience of athletics?
I’ve done it all the way through school, but my first age-group competition was my best early memory! I’d only ever run on grass tracks, so getting to run my favourite race, the 200m, on a proper all-weather track was amazing, and definitely helped me perform better in my events that day.
What strengths do you bring to your committee role?
After three years at the club, with experience as a coach and as social sec, on the publicity front I can bring together all the sides of the club and show it off to our members and wider community. I’m also keen to have a proper social scene back, and to help Thomas with organising that side of the club!
Favourite recipe?
Spaghetti bolognese, for uni at least! Nicked my recipe off BBC Good Food and changed it up to my taste, it’s unbeatable!

Next up we’d love to introduce our 2021/22 Welfare and Inclusivity Officer, Connie (she/her)
Degree?
Infectious diseases (3rd year)
Event(s)?
New to the 800m but still love a good 60m
What was your first experience of athletics?
Edinburgh Uni Athletics club is super friendly! I was a member of my local athletics club in Brighton. I initially went to a long distance group but became too lazy for that so joined a sprint group. Since being at Edinburgh university, I have started to love the longer stuff so much more.
What strengths do you bring to your committee role?
I would like to think that I am friendly, kind and approachable.

With the new academic year coming up, we’d like to introduce your EUAC committee members for 2021/22!
First up is our Alumni Officer, Hannah (she/her)
Degree:
Immunology with Business
Event(s):
800 meters and 3000 meters
What was your first experience of athletics?
My first experience of the club was coming to the (rainy) welcome week barbeque in first year. We were all huddled in somebody’s flat trying to escape the rain, all getting to know each other. I was so nervous about meeting new people, but everybody was so friendly and really encouraged me to keep coming to the socials and training sessions.
What strengths do you bring to your committee role?
I’ve been a member of the club since my first year, so I’ve been lucky enough to get to know many of our former club members over the years. I’m really looking forward to staying in touch with old members and keeping them up to date on the club’s accomplishments, as EUAC continues to grow and achieve even more this year!
Top cooking tip:
Always keep an emergency pack of quorn nuggets in the freezer; they can fix any thing any time of day!

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️LGBTQ+ HISTORY MONTH: HEALTHCARE🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 This week’s topic is healthcare, and will be looking into the historic discrimination faced by gay and bisexual men with regards to blood donation. This post is by no means extensive, but hopefully provides a brief summary of some of the key dates and policies changes which have allowed progress to be made. More still needs to be done to provide equal access to blood donation, and you can head to ‘Stonewall - Freedom to Donate’ to read more on the topic!

As part of our collaboration with to celebrate the LGBTQ+ history, this post will be highlight some of the historic pioneers of the q***r music scene. This is by no means an exhaustive list (there are so many examples of artists and songwriters who have contributed to and shaped q***r music culture) but this post provides a quick overview of some of the milestones we often don’t hear about!
