Junior Common Room Committee
Fourteen students are elected annually to represent their peers within the hall and to organise events. This committee runs the JCR, puts on events and uses JCR fees to fund events for the students. The three major annual events organised by the JCR committee are the Summer Ball, Freshers Week, and RAGs (Raise and Give) Week, although social events continue throughout the year. The committee has a written constitution which governs its relations with the student population and governance within the committee.
