Warwick Sport is a joint partnership between the
SU and the University’s department of PE and
Sport.
ALL fees go into a budget which is spent ONLY on
Sport and related activities. The SU provides
resources in student activities, and also the
Sports Officer – however, none of these are paid
for by Warwick Sport memberships or fees.

everything we do
• £1,200/day rent – ouch!
• Last year spent £2.792m on student activities,
(societies and sports clubs), the advice centre
and on representation.
• In short, we don’t have a lot of money!
• We are one of the largest Students’ Unions in
the country, yet have one of the smallest staff
teams!
• Ridiculous/unsustainable right? Right.
• Things take a little longer to process and
organise then we all might hope, but it’s better
than the alternative…

Ruby Compton-Davies
Sports Officer Elect
Ruby will take office on

• Find it on the 2nd floor of SUHQ

• Use it for exec meetings, for printing and
guillotining, for designing posters, and for filling
out and submitting forms.
• Get to know the staff, they are here to support
you (kind of hard to do that if they don’t know
what you’re up to!).
o If you have club sessions in Warwick Sport
facilities, then you will need to apply for regular
bookings with Gemma Morris.
o If you wish to hold an event in Warwick Sport
facilities, then you will need to submit an event
pack to Gemma Morris.
Don’t worry yet, you’ll get an email about these
things nearer the time.
You can book SU spaces too!

Resources

• Can’t withdraw money from your account
without filling in a form.
• The 2 most common forms:
o Money Requests (used to withdraw money or pay for
goods and services); and
o Sales Invoice Requisitions (used to raise invoices,
typically to get sponsors to deposit money into your
account).
• All forms can be found at
www.warwicksu.com/execresources/forms
Typical timeframes that you can expect for payment after
filling in forms:
• Money Requests:
o BACS payments take 3-4 working days
o Cash takes 1-2 working days (collected from Finance Office)
o Cheques take 1-2 working days
• Sales Invoices:
o Money deposited into your account within 3-4 working days
(except if you are sponsored by Kelseys!).
To deposit money into your account:
• Go to the Finance Office (2nd Floor of SUHQ on the
RHS) and hand the cash to Paula on the front desk.
• Make sure your cash is counted (and bagged where
depositing coins).
• You will be handed a receipt – keep this safe!
• The money will then be deposited into your account
on the next working day.
• The usual process for paying for goods is that an exec
member will pay for the items upfront and then reimburse
themselves from the club funds via a Money Request form.
• This is fine (although double-check you can be reimbursed
for the goods you want to purchase if they total more than
£100).
• If you don’t want to/can’t individually pay for the items first
(and then reimburse yourself), we have a Union credit card
that can be used to pay for the goods/services directly
instead. This requires a Money Request form to be used.
Things which might make the process take longer:
o You need 2 exec signatures on the forms
o All forms exceeding £100 need the Sports Officer’s
signature
o Finance Office opening hours are 10am – 3pm
weekdays
o Individuals who require payment (DJs/guest
speakers etc.) need to be registered with HMRC
o Get the correct codes for the forms!
o Charity Law! (we’re coming to this later)
For all orders, you must use the following delivery
address:
Westwood Games Hall
University of Warwick
Coventry
CV4 7AL
