Taster Sessions
Most sports societies are currently unable to host taster sessions in welcome week due to staffing issues at David Ross Sports Village.
Any updates on the status of our existing tasters taking place the following week (Monday 28th Sept ->), or any new taster we will hold will be via our Facebook Page.
If you are interested in joining the club later in the year please feel free to come along to an Engage session (details to come later via this website/Facebook), or send a message to us and we'll be happy to arrange something.

Committee
All of our clubs and societies are run by a committee.
A committee is a team of people that lead, organise and publicise a group within your Students’ Union.
It can be really rewarding as well as being a great way to gain experience and invaluable skills for your future career.
