Yeah, the committee training session is tomorrow from 1-2 in The Venue. I can't make it but I'd urge anybody not in a lecture at this time to attend. The bookings for spots for Clubs and Socs day are **immediately** after this training and we need to get our usual spot in The Hub beside the ATM machine. Also, the deadline for the grant application is Tuesday, the 10th of October. This is the day after our EGM. The following is from a post Bob made on life.dcu.ie: Club & Society Committee Introductory Training Session Wednesday 27th September 2006, Week 1. 1 -2 pm, the Venue This will be a quick one hour introductory training session for committee members of clubs and societies. We would advise as many members of your committee as possible to attend. IMPORTANT: Directly after this training session, Siobhan Byrne (Clubs & Socs finance officer) will be taking TABLE BOOKINGS for Clubs & Socs Days! Clubs & Socs Days Table Bookings Thursday 28th September 2006, Week 1. 11 am to 3 pm, Clubs & Socs Office If your club or society has not booked a table for C & S Day by now, Siobhan will also be accepting bookings today from 11 am to 3 pm. Treasurers Info Session Monday 2nd October 2006, Week 2. CLUBS: 12 to 1 pm, Seminar Room SOCIETIES: 1 to 2 pm, Seminar Room A vital training session for treasurers of Clubs & Societies. How to effectively manage your finances, balance your budgets and so on. Attendance by treasurers is strongly advised! Clubs & Socs Days Tuesday 3rd & Wednesday 4th October 2006, Week 2. 10 am to 4 pm, the HUB, the Venue You know the deal; bring on the madness! The SPC and SCC will be there to help out, supervise and register your new members. Deadline for Grant Applications Tuesday 10th October 2006, Week 3 If your club or society does not submit a grant app, then you do not get any money. We cannot put it simpler than that. Club & Society Committee Training: Effective Meetings & Committee Roles Tuesday 17th October 2006, Week 4. 5 to 6 pm, Seminar Room This training session will teach your committee how to efficiently run a meeting; what the proper procedures and protocols are and the correct roles for each of your committee members. It will explain exactly what the (e.g.) secretary should and should not do; the role assumed by the chair in meetings and so on. This session will be vital for the smooth running of your society for the coming year. We would urge at least two members of every club and society committee to attend. Club & Society Committee Training: Events Safety & Effectiveness Tuesday 24th October 2006, Week 5. 5.30 to 7 pm, Seminar Room How to run a SAFE and well planned event. Safety is obviously a priority here in DCU; at this session we will teach you the dos and donts of running an event in the college. Everything from safety announcements to access to fire exits will be covered. Attendance is vital! Club & Society Committee Training: PR & Marketing Wednesday 9th November 2006, Week 7. 5.30 to 7 pm, Seminar Room Pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin. How to effectively promote and market your club or society! We cannot underestimate the importance of good PR. If you do not properly promote your society, attendance at your events and membership numbers could suffer. (This would not be a good thing). Coming Up! We have several other training sessions planned; dates are to be confirmed. Coming up: workshops on Sponsorship, Team Building and Casualty Management. Watch this space!
