Reinvent Your Free Time

HOW TO…Work with….

What is Give it a Go?

• An exciting activities programme which runs beginner taster sessions of everything from skiing to sewing and Swedish massage to streetdance without the commitment .

• The programme is packed full of activities, events, courses and day trips. So why not join in the fun. Just buy a ticket in advance from the Union box office: pay & play-no strings attached, that's all there is to it!

• Some of the activities are run by Union Societies and Sports, others are run by extern teachers.

How does this work for Societies?

• GIAG is a great way for Societies to generate income for their B account. Societies keep 77.5% of the money from ticket sales (the other 22.5% pays the VAT and printing).

• Money you generate from your activities will be transferred into your Society account once the programme has finished.

• From the Intro Programme 2010 alone, clubs & societies made £2314.23.

• The programme increases awareness of your Society.

• Enable the Society members to experience first hand how to organize and run an event/ class/ session.

Programmes

• There are 4 programmes a year (Intro, Autumn, Spring & Summer) and all tickets are sold in advanced at the Union Box Office.

• I (Anna GIAG Coordinator) will contact all Societies when planning the programme, or you can contact me anytime on 0114 2228525, a.tummon@shef.ac.uk, or just pop into the Activities Zone.
