The Focus Sport Programme has been expanded this year. There have been issues with coaches and staff. All the feedback for next year will be decided in June 2015. KL asked if the commitee thought it was best to increase the panel of people making decision on applications to 5. It was decided it would stay at 3 - Vp Sports, AU Officer and Development Officer.

The general feedback on this year is very positive, however the programme needs to be made more Sports Specific.

Im Officer

 JW talked about how IntraMural has gone this year. The Leagues have finished and JW has all the results back from the Survey. There are some constructive critisims as well as improvements that can be made for next year. JW is looking to make the pricing clearer. Stating costings per team as opposed to per person per team.

They are looking forward to the Summer Tournament. There are approximately 100 teams taking part which is about 914 participants. There will be medals for the winning teams and lots of events going on at Wide Lane. Some of the proceeds will be going to RAG.

The IntraMural Awards are on 6th May. We have sold 73 tickets so far.

 

AU Officer

Varisty went well. We Won.

AU are currently preparing for the AU Awards on 1st May.

Alumni Day went well. The feedback was good. KL is looking at taking the lead on this event next year and running it.

 

6. Policy
6. Minor Changes to the Sports Zone Structure

KL asked to discuss some amendments to the Sports Particpation BY-Law. Need to define what is a AU club? KL suggested having one Officer to cover Women, Disability and Diversity as these were smaller areas to cover. It was suggested the title could be Diversity and Sport Officer. This person would be committed to running campaigns and encourage participation from these areas.

It was also asked whether the name of the Non AU SPorts Rep could be changed to Casual Club Rep? KL will take this to AUC to discuss.
