Join a Club/Society

Universities have  many clubs and Societies that you can get involved in. There are a huge range of different clubs and societies that anyone at the university is welcome to join. If you can't find a club or society to suit you why not start one? (read below for details)

Joining a club or society is really very easy the best way is to contact the chairman of the club or society you wish to join, all the clubs have contact details on their webpage on this very site.

Can't find what you're looking for? Not a problem, simply drop in and visit the Sports and Scoieties Department based in the students union. And if you don't have time away from your studies to do that just send an email to the Sports and Societes Department.

Start a Club/ Society

Universities  are constantly on the lookout for motivated, enthusiastic people who want to set up a society of their own so that our list of Clubs and Societies will continue to grow.

It doesn't matter what you are interested in - basket weaving, chemistry, chocolate, yoga, whatever - if you think people will want to share in your enthusiasm then you should think about setting up a Club or Society.

Setting up a Club/Society can be hard work but it is very rewarding and you will have the full support of Student Union Officers and staff.

How to Set up a New Club/Society

Setting up a new club/society may seem a daunting task but it's really just a matter of being enthusiastic and filling in the right forms! If you have any problems the Sports & Societies team are there to help you.

Step 1
Will your society offer something different to those we already have?

Step 2
Get 20 names & NUS numbers of students that would be interested in joining your club/society. These need to include students who would help you run the society when it is set up.

Step 3
You need to decide on your committee, which must consist of a Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and Safety Officer.

A committee form, code of conduct, model constitution and your list of signatories must be given in to the Sports & Societies Office.

Step 4
Your proposal will be submitted to the Sports & Societies Committee, who will consider it at the next meeting. At least one member of your new committee must be present to represent you.

Step 5
If your proposal is accepted you and now ready to start running your brand new club/society - Good Luck!
