Start up a new Sport or Society

We currently have around 45 Sports and Societies for you to choose from, but if there's an interest you really want to pursue then you can meet with our President of Student Activities to discuss what you would like to do and what you want to achieve.

The SU can help you get set up, and give you guidance on how to manage your chosen Sport or Society.

 

The process is (fairly) straight-forward:

1. Find nine other like-minded people (10 in total, inlcuding you)

2. Complete our QMUSU New Sport or Society Form below and click submit.

3. The President of Student Activities will check your submission and arrange to meet with you to discuss your ideas.

4. On approval the Union will help you set up your sport or society and provide support to you through the year.

 

Creating A Committee

Every Club or Society must have a Committee. The structure of a committee varies, but as a minimum there should be:

  • a Captain/President - keeps the club running, accountable for decisions of appointed committee members and behaviour of all members when representing QMUSU.  Main contact with the Students Union. 
  • a Vice Captain/Vice President - supports the Captain/President in running the club, responsible for running the club in the absence of Captain/President.
  • a Treasurer - responsible for the financial wellbeing of the club.  Works with the SU Finance Officer regarding budgets and fundraising.
  • Other Committee roles can be allocated according to need (e.g) Secretary, Social Secretary, Wellbeing Officer etc.
