2.4 STUDENT SOCIETIES
2.4.1 The JCRS
All undergraduates are full members of the Junior Combination Room Society. The Society provides a
full range of services and facilities as well as representing student views to various College and
University bodies. Based in Ann’s Court, the Junior Combination Room itself is the hub of the Society’s
activities, providing an informal space to relax as well as a venue for Open Meetings (although they may
also be held in the Bar), which are held at regular intervals each term. These formulate policy and
proposals, decide on the allocation of funds, and provide an opportunity to discuss ideas and voice
opinions. The running of the Society is left to the JCR Committee, elected annually from its members by
the JCRS at the end of each Michaelmas Term.
