Incubator Report

The Incubator report is a way to show The New Activities Committee (NAC) what you have been up to over a term and how your new Club, Society or Project is running. The aim of the report is to enable you to progress into becoming a full society by reflecting on your achievements so far.

The committee would like to see the following points covered in the report:

  • Events you have run and a summary of them (at least 2-3 Give it a Go events with lots of photos!)
  • Attendance figures at the events or any general stats you can include
  • What you plan on doing to keep the attendance up
  • What you plan on doing to gain new members
  • How you plan on retaining members (how will you keep people interested?)
  • Your social media presence – have you created a Facebook/Twitter page? How many likes/followers does it have?
