We are pleased to say that Union 1908 membership is now open for the 2023/24 season. Prices have been frozen again at £5 – for this, you’ll gain access to the Union WhatsApp groups (more on that below), access to cheaper coach travel whenever we organise away trips, plus the ability to be on our new committee and shape the future of the Union.

We’ll be holding our first Annual General Meeting on Thursday 27th July at The Beagle, Chorlton, from 8pm. The AGM will be open to both 22/23 and 23/24 members. This will comprise an update on the Union’s finances, and a round-up of Union activity from the previous year. After this, we’ll be voting in the key positions for our committee this year – Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. If you would like to be considered for any of these positions (whether you will be able to attend the AGM or not), please fill out this form, and we’ll be in touch by Monday 24th with further details.

If you are unable to attend the above date, we will have a full meeting plan available by Monday 24th, and will also have a form for correspondence should anyone have anything they would like taken into account. This will be communicated by the Union’s new communication channel on WhatsApp.

This year, in addition to our usual WhatsApp chat forum, we’ll also have an announcements stream. This means members who only want to find out important news on donation drives, coach travel, and other similar things have the option of not being in the main discussion group – and it also means that information will not be as easily lost. The links for each of these WhatsApp groups will be at the bottom of your welcome email once your donation for the year has been made.

Donations for 2023/24 Union membership can be made here.

Please note – membership is only for over 16s: under 16s gain access to Union benefits through the membership of their parent or guardian.
