Given the acamedic year is pretty much over for most people now, it has generally been the case that societies have stopped functioning due to lack of members turning up to any kind of events. It's not uncommon for societies to all but give up for the two months after Easter because nobody wants to get involved.
Interesting, Leeds A-Soc has seen some of the most successful times in it's history. While our meetings are normally attended by 6-10 people, most postgraduates and above, which to be honest, I expected to dip to 3-4 people during exams and beyond, it has not been uncommon for us to have over a dozen people at meetings and even more people at the social afterwards, most still there at kick out time over the past month or two.
It's still pitifully small fry compared to people like the Christian Union, I've found it a very positive thought especially given attendance should increase significantly when term starts again and given that our increase has come from undergraduates which we have always struggled to get involved with the society.
