Gave us some feedback about our Sport and Active Lifestyle team in our All-student Survey in October?
Check the responses from our teams in response to your student voice:
Fitness Suite/Gym at Exton Park should be free/cheaper
We are confident that the gym membership and all that it includes provides real value for money especially compared to local providers. We have taken on board concerns re: finance and are pleased to report that we have been able to secure our fees at the same rates as 2023.
Additional swimming pool sessions
We will review the swimming pool timetable based on numbers in attendance and also perhaps a survey to ascertain demand for further sessions. We must of course ensure that we have the right levels of staffing (lifeguards) so will keep this under review.
Social activities, like the AU Awards, should be more affordable
We are so fortunate to have a highly engaged Athletics Union and many social events. We are currently reviewing the costs of events and especially the awards and will ensure to keeps costs as low as possible.
More sports activity at University Centres
We will work with our local student experience teams to get an idea of what activities and when would work best for students at our university centres (Birkenhead, Warrington and Shrewsbury) watch this space for an opportunity to feed into ideas.
Cleaner tennis courts
We are pleased to report that the pesky moss is being removed and our courts are having a good tidy up. We will ensure to keep a more regular eye on the court’s maintenance going forward.
More coaching for AU clubs
We are fortunate to have a fund for coaching but please contact athleticsunion@chester.ac.uk for more information and to discuss options.
