We’re pleased to welcome you to our community of ratified student activity groups, student media groups and sports clubs! Running a group, club or society is an exciting opportunity and will equip you with a great new set of skills. This guide aims to provide you with all the resources and information that you’ll need to run your group or club effectively and efficiently. If you’re still unsure about something, you can email [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] or stop by a KCLSU Hub to get additional support. What does it mean to be a ratified group or club? Being a ratified activity group, media group or sports club means that KCLSU will provide you with support resources and training. With these benefits, come important responsibilities that are outlined in your student activity group, student media group or sports club agreement. This agreement is to be signed by the President and Treasurer of every group or club at the President and Treasurer (PAT) Conference. You’ll find some important parts of said agreement in the section in this book relevant to your group (student activity groups on page 25, media groups on page 39 and sports clubs on page 33). KCLSU Hubs KCLSU Hubs can help with all the basic needs of your group or club. Here’s a snapshot of what they deal with: • Answering enquiries about all KCLSU activity groups and sports clubs • Helping students join groups and clubs and pay membership fees • Assisting committee members to book spaces for their meetings, rehearsals, etc. (sports clubs wanting to book external practice/match facilities, please contact [email protected]) • All enquiries relating to social study spaces, activity rooms and meeting rooms alongside performing room checks • All enquiries as to putting on/ collaborating on a Bush House Sessions event. Please note: KCLSU Hubs are the only place student groups can deposit money from fundraising activities.

You will be emailed with details on how to access these. If you haven’t received an email regarding online training by the end of June, please email [email protected]. After you attend PAT Training, complete the online training and purchase membership to your group or club, you should contact a KCLSU Hub (opening hours and contact details above) where a staff member will grant you admin rights as either President or Treasurer. Once registered, you will then have access to your group or club’s webpage which you can make changes to and keep up-to- date, access the external speakers form (page 11) and use the eXpense365 app (page 47).

You can find a training video on how to navigate through this section under the Running a Group or Running a Club page of kclsu.org. If you click on the group or club name, you will be taken to the administrator page where you can access various options for your group.

This keeps your page relevant and engaging for both current and potential members. ‘Messages’ • This is where you can contact your members.

From here you could request that they send you their email address/join your Facebook group/follow you on Twitter etc. • When using this feature to email your members, you can choose to either email them from your personal student account, or your generic society email address (if you have one and have imputed it into the website). You can also choose which email they reply to. • All messages that you send to the club or society via this messaging system will be saved into the system but replies will go directly to the email address provided.
