It is really important that any students who become members of your society sign-up as a member officially. Having a membership through the website means that you:
-
Are insured by the SU while you are doing your activities. If you are not an official member you are not insured.
-
It's the best way for students' data to be kept safe in line with GPDR (rather than on a random spreadsheet).
-
It means that you can keep track of how many members your group actually has when you check your society/club admin page.
