Role of the Social Club at the Institute

The Staff Social Club at Waterford Institute of Technology strives to add to and improve the social aspect of life for all staff.  With a current membership of overall 450, almost all of the current staff at the institute are members of the Social Club.  Membership consists of academic staff, management, support staff, administrative staff, technicians and cleaning ladies.

During the Social Club calendar year from November to the following October various events are organized by an elected committee.  The largest of these events are definitely the Christmas Children’s Party and the end-of-term Barbeque.  However, other events such as Monthly Draws, Wine Tasting Nights, Table Quizzes, Social Nights and a Cabaret in mid March are always well attended.  

The committee are also responsible for the making presentations to members who are getting married, celebrating a birth, retiring and wreaths are sent to members who have suffered a family bereavement. All events and presentations are subsidized by a small weekly contribution from all our members.

Events are always great fun and a way to socialize and meet other members of staff.  If you want to meet the various ‘characters’ of the institute you can be sure to find them at a Social Club event!
