DRAMA SOCIETY members have been left shocked and confused after returning to university to find that £1,470 pounds had been stolen from their committee safe.
The cash, which had been collected from the sale of tickets to the society’s Christmas Ceilidh, went missing between the Sunday and Wednesday of Week 10 of last term.
The news was delivered to members of the society by their current chair, Joe Hufton, at an open meeting last Wednesday.
Hufton, reading from a prepared statement, said that the incident was under police investigation and had been “recorded as a theft”. He went on to say that “the committee wish to sincerely apologise that this happened under their watch.”
The reaction to this news was one of shock and sadness.
A member of the society summed up the general feeling by telling Vision: “I think most people are a bit upset; however, the committee has dealt with this blow with the sterling professionalism and honesty that we have all come to expect of them and faith in them remains as strong as ever.”
