Freshers week is coming up and this is the main time we have to promote the tramp club at my University. I'm pretty invested in it because I set it up a year ago and don't want to see it flop. We had a good first year and competed at 5 comps and won medals at all but 1. If we don't get enough members then we will be shut down.
Last year the best thing we had for pulling people in was the trial session during freshers week. They are all forced to walk through the sports centre when they enrol and it was great to be able to say 'you can go try it now/tomorrow/later today in the next room'. All of the sports clubs got a trial session. We have just been informed that we will NOT be given a trial session this year because it's 'too hard' to move the equipment into the other hall (which is about 10 metres away down a flat hard-floored corridor). The best they could come up with is that we can have a mat and do 'something' on that in the main hall.
Any suggestions?? There is nothing 'trampoline' that I would do with newbies that doesn't involve a trampoline! I'm not making them do conditioning, the whole point is it's meant to be fun!
