The Purpose of Clubs & Socs Council Clubs & Socs Council will endeavour to provide a forum for clubs/ societies to seek advice, to share information and for the Clubs & Societies Officer to inform clubs/ socs on financial and general matters and aid in the development of the societies. It is organised for the Committee representatives of all Clubs/ Societies to meet at least once every four weeks of each semester up until and including week 12 to offer your views on the improvement and development of Clubs/ Societies to the Clubs/ Societies Officer. It is a very good opportunity to interact with all other clubs/ society representatives on behalf of your own Club/ Society. It can facilitate the running of joint events with other societies and is also a great way to publicise your upcoming events!You may also voice any concerns or grievances with any aspect of the administration of Clubs/ Societies. It may also act as the vehicle by which policies, rules and regulations for the improvement of Clubs/ Societies administration are presented and acted upon.It is hoped that going forward the Clubs & Socs Council will enable clubs/ societies themselves to determine clubs/ societies policy so that everyone can work together in a way that benefits clubs and societies overall.So basically, you can decide what happens to your club/ soc!
