Celebrating the successes and achievements of our students and societies here at Aberystwyth University
The Award for Most Improved Society is presented to a society who has significantly increased the engagement and quality of its members and society in comparison to the previous year. This can be through, but not limited to, increased range of activities provided, improved communications, collaboration, etc.
This year the winner of this award is Instrumental Society. They are a society who even though they are a small group, have definitely made their presence known this academic year. Not only did they lead a jam-packed evening event at Arts Festival but have also utilised their passions and undeniable talents to entertain the wider public.
The society this year has increased their membership and also how active the society has been overall. They have hosted open mic nights for their members and membership satisfaction is high. Their Facebook page is also used to promote opportunities such as requests for guitarists to aid another society with their projects, alongside members advertising their gigs to build their support base. The committee this year have worked hard, and this is celebrated through receiving this award.
One nomination outlined why Instrumental Society was so deserving of this award:
“Instrumental may have started a small society but they are now made up of 29 members, and they have grown the name for the society massively over the last academic year! They have been extremely active on their Facebook page, promoting events and gigs around Aberystwyth to encourage members to go out and shine. Their weekly jam sessions turn out to be a huge success and really help members to increase their confidence with new instruments. I can see big things happening for this society. They have also been very reactive with the current Crisis in Ukraine and held an open mic night at Scholars to raise money for the cause.” [Anonymous Nominator].
