The Plan for this term is to increase sports socials amongst clubs, to grow the entire BSU, a few clubs are being formed going through the trial phase. Hockey is trying to be artificially grown. 150 projected attendees from the BSU for the sports and society awards. There is now a women representative on the rugby executive.
