We've just made things simpler! For all of you who want to join a club or society before term starts or even when you come back at 3am having been out with some of the coolest committee members from our activities we've released a new payment system for you to use.

Unlike last year the Athletic Union has individual prices for each of the clubs, this includes your insurance and mostly covers fees for running the activities such as facility hire and equipment purchases. New this year is societies can be joined online using the same system and our societies start at just £3.40 to join - providing something for everyone.

What do you need to do? Simple follow these easy steps and you'll be a member in no time:

  1. Click the big image below, select your sports club or society (more societies added soon) to add it to your shopping cart
  2. Continue adding further clubs and societies if you wish, and when you're done go to the shopping cart and click checkout
  3. Either login with your previous registration details or sign up there and then.
  4. Make your payment by credit or debit card
  5. You're done!

Once you're done you should recieve an e-mail from webmaster@upsu.net with your reciept. Keep this as it shows you've paid. Now sit back and relax.

Our shiney new system allows committee members to login daily and download a list of your e-mail address and phone numbers so they can let you know how to get further involved. If you don't hear anything drop them an e-mail, all contact details are on the website, and failing that pop in and see the sports or societies officer who will help you reach them.
