| Setting Up |
|
Setting up a Club/ Society - Contact the Clubs & Societies Officer or Student's Union to discuss your ideas. We can help and will have all the information you need! - Get a ‘New Club/ Society’ Application Form from Student's Union or download it from the forms section of this website - Get a list of Founding Members Names (Must be at Least 20) - Come and talk to either the Clubs & Societies Officer and request a table at the next Clubs & Societies Day where you can sign up lots of new members. Charge and collect €2 from each person who joins your club/society. Give the membership money to a member of the Students Union. This money will be added to your budget for the year. - Call a preliminary meeting of the interested people-advertise this as much as possible to gain maximum interest. One of the objectives of this initial meeting is to plan events and activities for the year and to elect a committee who will work to bring your plans into action! - Elect a Committee. You need a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Treasurer, Public Relations Officer and an Ordinary Committee Member. - Develop a Constitution. Each club/ society must have one. A sample Constitution is available from the Students Union or download it by clicking here. - Attend Club & Socs Training - Get your budget form either at the Training or before from the Student's Union or download it by clicking here. - Then put your plans into action. Always remember to ask for help if needed. - Hold regular meetings, meet with Clubs & Societies Officer once a month, review your budget with the Student's Union as the year goes on, and evaluate your activities. - Be realistic in terms of time and money when organising events and fundraising activities.
Good Luck!!!!!
