### You will need:

1. At least 3 students to form your committee.

3. Enough time to run your core activities and keep members up to date.

2. We'll send you an agreement which you'll need to fill in online.
3. Once approved, all committee members will need to fill out this form
4. We will get you set up on the website, and make your President/Chair an admin for your club. You can then go and edit your page details, and accept members.
