Chair Club History

Chair Club came to Birmingham (the one in the UK, not the other one) one Friday afternoon in early February 2005 when a number of computational chemistry students were very bored indeed. I must emphasise just how completely and utterly bored these students were - far, far beyond the normal levels that one associates with chemistry.

Then someone, quite who, I do not know decided that no one should get off their chair for the entire afternoon - even to the meeting which was taking place two floors below the office (we did make allowances for toilet visits - we're not that mad).

It appears that making a huge amount of noise rolling around the department in a chair can annoy supervisors. How were we supposed to know?

So, with our introduction to the mystic world of bridges and chairs, and the subsequent banning of both items by a supervisor desperate to keep some some level of sanity in his group, this lead to the creation of this manifesto:

106 votes isn't too bad really, especially when combined with no campaigning and very little effort. I would also like to point out that despite not being elected, I did achieve everything I promised to do (ok, so it wasn't exactly 96.43%, but it was a couple). Will everyone else achieve what they promised? Only time will tell...
