Union Council Report - January 08

To ensure the provision of financial support for those sports teams which do not currently receive support from the Sports Centre and to lobby on their behalf throughout the year.

The Centre for Sport will be attending Refreshers’ Fair to give information about the sports teams and promote their services, without any commercial activity of signing up members. By promoting their services they can encourage students to go over to the Centre itself to sign up to the gym and classes. The more money brought in to the Sports Centre, the more money that can be spread around the sports teams in the future.

To arrange a RAG week either in Semester 1 or Semester 2 involving not less than 100 students as active participants and to increase the amount of money raised for charities compared to previous years.

The RAG raffle for the voucher at the Living Room was small scale as it was only aimed at staff. We managed to make £30 which doesn’t sound like much but when added to money raised from the RAG pots at the shops and RAG events in the future this will help!

I am yet to meet with the student organising a Brookes “Jailbreak” to discuss how we can make it a RAG event.

Within the year arrange a showcase trip in another European country for performance societies.

Due to lack of interest in this trip and other demands on time I am currently reviewing this objective.

To provide monthly publicity of the aims and objectives of STAX

I attended a meeting on 23rd January which Clive Robertson from the University attended. We discussed events that STAX get involved in and how they promote their services for these. It was suggested that we work closer with the local colleges in our volunteering projects as many of their students will move on to Brookes after their A-levels. STAX will have a stall at Refreshers Fair on 4th February to promote their projects.
