Committees!
Refreshers Fair is taking place on February 9th (10:00am - 3:00pm), and now is the time to sign up for a society stall!
What is Refreshers Fair?
Refreshers Fair is similar to Freshers Fair and gives societies the opportunity to showcase what they do, meet students, and promote upcoming activities. It's aimed at students who may have missed Freshers or are looking to get involved later in the academic year.
Why take part?
Refreshers Fair is a fantastic opportunity to:
- Recruit new members mid-year
- Raise awareness of your society
- Promote upcoming events and activities
- Build interest among students who may choose to join in the future
Even if you're not actively recruiting, it's a great way to increase your society's visibility and connect with potential members.
How do I sign up?
You have until December 17th to submit your stall application using the form below:
Societies will receive confirmation of their stall allocation in January.
Are there any training requirements?
Before your stall can be approved, all committee members attending the fair must have completed:
- GDPR Training
- Essentials Training
These resources can be found on the Committee Hub under the "Committee Development & Training" section. Please ensure all required documents, quizzes, and learning activities have been completed.
Please note: stall applications cannot be approved until all attending committee members have completed the required training.
Are there any other opportunities during the Refreshers period?
Refreshers is also a great time to run free taster sessions and activity events for students.
These form part of our Give It A Go programme, a schedule of free activities designed to help students try something new and get involved in university life.
If your society would like to host a free event during the Refreshers period, let us know and we'll include it in the programme schedule.
We look forward to seeing you there! Refreshers is a fantastic opportunity to welcome new students, showcase your society, and grow your community.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
