GUIDANCE FOR STUDENT GROUPS
- There's no need to sign up for a Welcome Fair stall, as we'll automatically be including all Clubs/Societies on the list, but if know that you won't be able to make it, please let us know so that space can be freed up - we have ~300 Student Groups overall, so each day will be very busy!
- We'll be hosting some online briefing sessions for committee members on the dates below:
- We'll cover everything you need to know about how the Fair will work, and how you can best prepare, so please make sure you're available to attend one. This page will also be updated with key details as well, so be sure to check back regularly, and read our Friday newsletters for more information!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
What are we allowed to bring with regards to food and drink?
- In order to avoid stainful spillages and/or food being trodden on to the carpet*, only water and packaged items of food (e.g. sweets) will be allowed into the actual Sports Hall, so please finish any coffees (etc.) before heading down for your shift on the stall!
- We appreciate that it's a long, energy-consuming day, though, so strongly recommend getting out of the Sports Hall and taking lunch/snack breaks where you can, and doing different timed shifts on the stall between you as committee members, so that you're not there for the whole time non-stop!
*The reason being that this carpet is the same as what LSE uses for exams, and so it needs to be kept clean.
➕
How many committee members are allowed on each stall?
- Due to space constraints (there will be over 100 stalls on each day of the Welcome Fair), and our need to manage how many people are in the Sports Hall at any given time (there will be hundreds of attendees on top of those that are there as stallholders/staff), we need to limit the number of committee members behind each stall to TWO.
- To ensure that the same 2 committee members aren't on the stall all day without a break, we'd therefore recommend that you create a shift pattern between your committee as a whole, so that different people can swap out and do an hour or two at a time. Just make sure to give one of the badges that will be on your stall to the person taking over from you!
