Much has been made of the NUS giving access to discounts, but why should one have to pay for these? I will ensure that discounts are freely available to Imperial students without the need to buy an NUS Extra card. So far, Imperial students can already get discounts in local shops including:
- Maxwell’s Newsagents – Gloucester Road (10%)
- Ryman (stationers) – Gloucester Road (10%)
- Giraffe (restaurant) – Kensington High Street (10%)
- Timpson (key cutters and shoe repairs) – South Kensington Station (20%)
- Blacks (outdoor equipment) – High Street Kensington (10%)
- Bite Card (food & drink discounts) – Mainline Train Stations (20%)
The Union can also use its buying power to organize contract sales with other companies especially outdoor companies. A number of clubs have their own contracts but the Union could quite easily set up a central contract
Elect me as President and I will:
1. Work to organize discounts in the local area in addition to those above and prominently publicize them.
2. Use the Union’s buying power to save clubs money on their purchases and ground hire.
