  1. Where do the subs go? Finance

  2. What do I get for my membership? Your membership for the whole academic year provides real value for money as you receive;

  3. Hidden Fees CSU contribute twice the amount members’ pay per head to cover the activities throughout the academic year and all the ‘hidden’ fees such as;-

  4. Sports - £57.50 work out less than £2.00 a week during term time which is less than £1.00 per training session. Societies - £5.00 work out less than 16p per week during term time which is less than 8p per meeting. DOC Cost

  5. Accounts Every sport and society has 2 accounts affiliated to them a GRANT and SOCIAL account. These accounts are operated by CSU and these are the only accounts you are allowed. Committee members must not hold money from members in any other accounts. Sarah Latham (Student Activities Manager) is the budget holder of all the Sports & Societies accounts.

  6. Grant Account The grant account is where the DOC membership money is deposited as well as the money CSU allocated to your specific club or society for the year ahead. The grant account pays for all the essentials associated with running your club or society and covers transport, kit, equipment, match officials, accommodation subsidy, speakers etc.

  7. How we work out Grant Account? Meeting with committee at Budget Meetings to discuss the plans for next year. Try our best to make your plans happen. Example: The fishing society would like £50 for equipment and £200 for transport. Total = £250.00 20 members @ £5.00 = £100 Grant = £150 Total Budget = £250

  8. Social Account Your social account is where any sponsorship money you collect is kept as well as any additional fundraising you do throughout the year. This money is yours to spend on your members but must be authorised by Student Activities Manager in advance. Examples: End of Season Meal, Day Trip to Chester Zoo, Posters Please note: The money will not be authorised to spend on alcohol.

  9. Membership Target CSU have budgeted according to the membership target you stated in the budget meetings. Increase participation More members = More money

  10. Life Members It offers you the opportunity to sign up to your chosen club or society each year and be involved in their annual activities, whether it be social events or friendly matches. You can also carry on going to our wonderful bars, without having to pay the £1 visitor fee each time. It is only £10 for life time membership. Please fill in the form onlinethen pay DOC price for your chosen sport/society. The combined number of life members, University and Union staff should not exceed one third of the total membership of a particular club or society.

  11. How to pay for DOC? Pay online at www.chestersu.com International Students – If don’t have an English bank account can pay at Student Activities Office. £10.00 for one off match fee

  12. Taking Money

  13. How to claim money back? Get your expenditure agreed in advance by Student Activities Manager or you won’t be able to claim the money back. Complete a Pink Expense Claim Form available from the Activities office. Attach all relevant VAT receipts. Hand it back into the Activities Office. The claim will take approx. 10 days.

  14. Referee/Speaker & Umpire Form The form is slightly different we need to make sure that the money has been received by the Umpire/Referee/Speaker so a signature is required the money can then be transferred into the account.

  15. Fundraising Fundraising is a great way to raise your profile on your club or society both on and off the campus and acts as a great group bonding activity. We want to hear about your fundraising so please get in contact with Savannah or Sarah so we can promote and celebrate your achievements. Don’t forget that all fundraising must be paid into your CSU social account and you can do this in the activities office.

  16. Charity Events Charity events can be held in CH1 Bar/Bar2010. CSU can provide a float if plenty of notice is given and committee member is responsible for the cash.

  17. Sponsorship It is the responsibility of the committee to generate additional funds through for your club or society if you want additional money. Sponsorship is a great way of getting income which you can spend on coaching or extra equipment. All sponsorship deals MUST be authorised by CSU in advance just to ensure you are getting a fair deal and not being taken advantage of. CSU will sort out a contract to get everything formally agreed so they can’t back out. Please see the NEW Sponsorship Guidelines in the committee pack.

  18. Budget Meetings Budget Meetings are near Easter Time. Budget Meetings assess all the activities you would like to do the next academic year. No Budget Meeting = No Money

  19. Why do we budget? The fishing society have 15 members that pay £10.00 duty of care. The society went on a fishing trip to Dover and used the people carrier and went 150 miles at 50p per mile. The society also budgeted for new angling equipment at £50.00. The society then decided to go on spare of the moment fishing trip which wasn’t budgeted and took 2 cars they travelled a total of 125 miles at 25p per mile they went to the River Thames. Did the fishing society overspend?

  20. Budget emails were sent out by Sarah Latham in August. Please see Sarah if you did not receive your budget. All budgets will be closely monitored this year.

  21. Accommodation Subsidy Any sport/society that requires accommodation and approved in the budget. Chester Students’ Union pays £10.00 per member per night. Book early especially as other Universities might need accommodation too.
