Getting posts out nice and early gives the best chance of getting numbers. Distributing info early and clearly minimises the amount of annoying questions that everyone on committee will get.

Streetshirts has been consistently the cheapest place to order from. They offer a bulk discount which is mix and match, so you can essentially customise each t-shirt and it doesn’t costly extra. They also deliver even large orders within a week, normally 3 days. Make sure you check the cost of the t-shirt in the colour you want and check if you need double or single sided t-shirts before you try and make a quick shirt estimate - the colours vary in price on this site.

A big part of proving that your society is inclusive is by making socials inclusive.
This means:
- Circulating info well in advance so ppl have time to arrange to come
- Running legitamate sober socials
- Actually having at least one committee member in attendance to oversee things
- Running actual activities that are not just getting drunk at the pub so that it is easier for people to break the ice.
- Inviting ppl widely from all teams
- Getting captains involved so new players feel like there will be someone there they know
- Introducing freshers to each other so they can arrange getting home safely (by knowing what halls each other live in, sharing Ubers, looking out for each other)

You need to encourage the above and also try to put in place measures that safeguard members, if that means having a designated sober person in a reflective jacket each week, then that is what needs to be arranged.

Be really careful with event locations as the SU rules state that technically no alcohol can be served! Technically a rule break if they even sell Espresso Martini, although you’re far less likely to get caught at a breakfast event.

Set a theme at the start of the year, using hex codes to specify colours, choose title and content fonts, and make these templates accessible to all on committee if possible as this helps you if you are ever too busy to do a post/there’s an “emergency” post and you’re on holiday/too busy with exams.

Create a good relationship with the SU, they suck most of the time but at the end of the day they’re the ones in command. At the start of the season meet with them, do their workshops, ask for help and advice, even if you’re already confortable with your role it’s always better they know your face well.

Usually the SU asks you for a budget plan at the beginning of the season. When you do it, involve the other committee members to make sure to don't leave out anything. Make them participate in the barnstorming of new ways to get money (sponsorships, fundraisings, alumni events, memberships etc.). If you can not get everyone at least work closely with the outreach officers and social secs.

Idk how you guys are financially or how much the memberships are right now, but we were in the red when I started and increasing the memberships made us get back on track. If you can, go and look at other sports’ membership to see if you’re not making yours too cheap/expensive.

When you let this slide, gamedays become really stressful. If you follow it, there’s minimal ways for things to go wrong (that are your responsibility/fault anyway)

Ideally if you can, if you’re visiting a city, try and make sure there is at least one day of full sightseeing. Otherwise players felt it was a bit rushed.

Aeroplanes were more expensive when I asked for a group discount. Eurostar didn’t give me a discount. Only the hostel gave me a discount - and that was good, I managed to negotiate.
