Clubs Day is a chance for you to figure out what clubs you want to be a part of and for clubs to recruit new members, creating connections and engagement within the student culture.
Most are free and if not, they’re usually cheap as chips (if English is your second language, this is one way Kiwis refer to a bargain)!
When: Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 February from 10am
Due to the incoming cyclone and the resulting weather forecast UCSA have made the decision to move Clubs Days to Thursday and Friday this week.
One of the best ways to get involved is to join a UCSA club or society. Twice a year, clubs show off what they’ve got, and it’s this week on now on Thursday and Friday. This is NOT something you want to miss out on!
