Off The Grid: Recent Episodes
UOG Karting
In the penultimate episode of the Meet The Committee series we speak to Blake Checketts, our Vice-Captain. We discuss the plan of attack for the upcoming British Universities Karting Championship season where the club is looking to put itself on the map, whilst also hearing about Blake's rather extensive history in karting generally.
Next in the hot seat on the Meet The Committee series is James Williams who has taken up the brand new position of Sim Racing Coordinator. We talk over the real world benefits of having a cost-effective way to improve race craft in an otherwise expensive sport, as well as James's new found interest in photography.
Episode three of Meet The Committee sees a role reversal as Marketing Manager Ben Houlihan is the one facing the grilling. Aside from explaining how he maintains the image of the club, we also get an idea as to where we may see the self confessed nerd in the near future.
On the second episode of the Meet The Committee series we speak to Ben Standring, our Community and Welfare Officer, who discusses the importance of his job not just within the club, but also to the wider community and why it's vital that we give back in any way we can.
Off the Grid is back, but before we get into the good stuff we have some housekeeping to attend to.
