The College Record 2022

Reports and College Activities
While it was wonderful to finally see a normal Trinity Term again, complete with
punting, croquet, and college balls, the usual hedonism of the term had little effect
on the productivity of the committee. The term saw the overwhelmingly successful
introduction by the Kitchen and JCR of weekend brunch, the conclusion of a yearlong
review and re-writing of the JCR constitution, and the beginning of a working
group and proposal to examine the redecoration of the JCR space.
The JCR would not be able to function and run everything it does without the
support of members all across the spectrum of the College community – if anything,
the experience of rebuilding knowledge and experience since the pandemic
has shown this. Firstly, I would like to thank the entire JCR Committee, but in
particular, Jazzi Nieradzik-Burbeck, Arthur Carpenter, Roisin Quinn, Nadia Kashoo,
Chante Price, Olivia Coombs, Eva Bailey for all their work and enthusiasm in
making change happen within College and the JCR. Secondly, to Dawn Grimshaw
and the rest of the kitchen team for frankly, at times, going above and beyond
in accommodating us and working with us. Lastly, to Claire Craig, Marie Bracey,
Seth Whidden, Charlie Louth, Andrew Timms, and Nick Bamforth for their open
engagement and working relationship with the JCR over the past year. While the
pandemic for many of us is no longer a part of our daily experience, the College
and JCR is the not the same as it was pre and post-pandemic and it will continue to
evolve through these still turbulent times; I wish all the best to Roisin and the rest of
the incoming committee for whatever the upcoming year may bring.
