Step 1
Complete the “New Club/Society” form on the Team Aber Resource Hub. The form asks you to explain what your club will be about, include at least 10 individuals who will be interested in joining your club, and list at least the three core committee members (President, Secretary and Treasurer). If your club would like to participate in BUCS, then you will also need a BUCS Captain on committee.
The Opportunities Team will then review your application. We will check the suitability for your club to ensure that:
- It does not replicate an existing club
- It does not propose any reputation risk to the Union, and the wider community
- Its primary aims are for the benefit of Aberystwyth University students
Once reviewed we will contact you with the outcome within two weeks.
Step 2
Once approved, we will work with you to create your core documents:
- Constitution
- Code of conduct
- Risk Assessment
- Equipment List
At the same time, we will be creating your club/society assets:
- Webpage
- Club/society Email
- Finance Account
- Microsoft Teams
Step 3
Complete the Committee Training. This is to train you up and provide you with everything you need to know about running a club and utilising your club assets.
Step 4
Once you have completed the training you are set to go!
You can start by:
- Advertising who you are and begin attracting members
- Booking Union/Uni facilities
- Applying for a starting grant
- Reaching out for sponsorships
