We are keen to encourage students to set up new clubs or societies around activities that are not already represented here at City University.
At its most basic a society is a group with an approved constitution, 15 members and an elected committee. This page will help you to establish your society.
The first thing for you to do is to download and complete the new “Club/Society application form” and return it to the Students’ Union as a scanned document, by post or in person. We recommend you read the “Starting a New Club or Society Guidance” to assist you with completing the form.
Within 5 working days you will be invited to a meeting with a member of staff to discuss your application and to provide more advice on the process of starting up your society.
After this initial meeting your application is then sent to the Vice President Activities and Development for approval.
If your application is successful you will be invited to a second meeting to introduce you to the resources available to you. You will be invited to join the Clubs and Society Committee Members Community on Moodle. All of the forms and resources you require to recruit new members will be made available to you. You are now known as a “Start Up Group” and on your way to becoming a fully established society.
When you have successfully recruited 15 members you are able to hold elections for your committee. It is at this point that the members elect the President, Secretary and Treasurer. Until your society has had these elections you will hold the title of “Group Organiser”.
Group organizers can receive specific support from the Students’ Union on activities directly related to help you to recruit new members. You can speak to our staff about this at your initial meeting.
We look forward to receiving your application.
