Significant achievements • • • • • •
Implementation of Mentoring scheme, which has helped a lot on workload of execs and gives presidents a member of exec that they can communicate with/through Kick Off had more attendees than last year, although there is still room to develop and grow it, it was a success with a lot of home wins and a great even/environment. Team/sportsperson of the week, when I went for position I wanted a bigger focus on rewards/recognition and this has been successfully implemented week in week out. Beat last year’s AU member’s numbers, not far off reaching yearly target. Successfully allocated all of first round of development pot to clubs with exec team.

Meeting with member who put forward idea of societies showcase to aid in putting this event on as some sports clubs will be taking part. Date for event to follow from meeting. Idea to extend sports storage space, working on with VP Sports, still in early stages as we first need to see if any space around campus can be utilised before we try and spend any money. Sitting on fortnightly meetings on sports strategy, and how to move forward as an AU and develop clubs, work in progress as we are attempting to see what each club needs specifically to develop and grow.
