Please use this space to do research on what similar sports clubs at other unions may offer to students and what ideas you can take from them for your club, i.e. What are its main activities; where will they take place and at what time of day; how you will make it accessible to all students; and how you will make students aware of your club.

It might also be a good idea to take down the contact names and details of other clubs

After returning this form to the Union office, we will review your research and help you to organise your first meeting. At this meeting, potential members will discuss aims, strategy and activities of the club; as well as plan and develop the next meeting/event.This will also be an opportunity to vote in the 3/4 lead members of the Society who will act as main contacts between the members of the society and the Union, as well as take responsibility for the organisation of the group.
