UPDATE: All societies are asked to fill in this questionairre to re-register for the 2024/25 academic year. If you want to start a new society you should also complete the form as far as you can.
For brand new societies:
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to start a new club for students. There are a few steps you must take before you have a fully functioning society or sports team.
Start by thinking about these three things;
- Who is going to help me run my sports team or society?
- Is there already a sports team or society organising the kinds of events that I want?
- Who is going to join my sports team or society?
To start a Society of Sports Team you will need;
- An idea for a club or society that does not already exist
- You need a minimum of three committee members (president, treasurer and secretary) who will lead the new group for the rest of the academic year
- 16 other students who will register their interest in this new group being formed
You will then need to submit a completed constitution, risk assessment and budget - we will be contacting Societies and Sports Teams soon with these documents so keep your eyes peeled!
Once you complete these steps and are approved by the Co-President for Activities and Events, you will officially be a society/sports team! New clubs are entitled to a stall at the Freshers’ Fayre which happens in September to help you attract members.
