Circus Society
At circus society we're all about meeting people, getting involved and having fun. Everyone has fun teaching and learning new tricks together, and we highly encourage members to learn and develop performance skills. We cater for a wide range of skill levels, welcoming both complete beginners and experts, and have a range of our own circus equipment so that anyone can join in and learn tricks straight away. We occasionally organize beginners' sessions of various equipment such as juggling, poi, diabolo and unicycling, and our members have a huge variety of skills including staff, flower stick, contact juggling and more! We also have evenings where members get the opportunity to safely use fire equipment. Our experienced performers are available for hire for events both in and out of the university, and the society serves as a platform to advertise our members and their skills. Our practice session for semester 2 are: Mondays: 18:00 - 20:00, The Cube (Open Meet & Play) Thursdays: 16:00 - 18:30, The Cube (Second Open Meet & play)

Membership Information
These are the current membership fees offered by Circus Society, although many clubs and societies offer a free period for new members to try out their activities.
| Name | Cost | Valid Period | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Circus Society Year Membership 2024/2025 | FREE | 26/09/2024 - 31/07/2025 | Circus Society Year Membership. The year membership gives you access to the society & open practice sessions and kit for the academic year 2024/25. We accept new members all year round. | |
| Paid Tier Membership (borrowing equipment) | £10.00 | 28/10/2024 - 31/07/2025 | PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING. This membership is NOT required for regular sessions. This membership allows you to borrow some equipment for up to 2 weeks at a time outside of our regular sessions. In order to borrow equipment you must have attended at least 4 of our regular sessions. Failure to return equipment within 2 weeks could result in your paid membership being revoked. This would mean you would have to purchase the membership again if you wish to borrow equipment again. Damage to borrowed equipment will be dealt with on a case by case basis. A lot of damage can be attributed to ordinary wear and tear in which case the member will not be held responsible for damages. However if damage appears to be more than ordinary wear and tear it will be looked into and could potentially result in membership being revoked and the member having to pay for the cost of damages. This cost will differ based on equipment. We will refuse requests to borrow certain equipment if we believe you will cause harm to yourself or others when trying to use it due to insufficient skill or knowledge about how to safely use the equipment. That being said, most of our equipment is unlikely to cause significant harm when used responsibly. |
