SAY NO TO SPARROWS ENTRY FEES!
Are you a student at the University of Greenwich?
Do you think its ridiculous we have to pay to enter our own SU on non-event days?
THEN SIGN UP!
We are campaigning to remove all entry fees at Sparrows for students from Monday - Thursday. Its unacceptable that we're charged to access our only social facility on campus. If you feel the same way, then please sign the petition below with your full name and feel free to leave any comments.
If entry was free (not including Fridays main events) then this would greatly encourage visitors to Sparrows an subsequently lead to more takings behind the bar. The SU wouldn't lose any profit, it would generate more income for our SU.
Removal of these fees will have a impact on social interactions within the Avery Hill community. It will encourage more people to use the venue and help social circles intergrate.

im still reading through all the comments people are leaving and its clear im not the only one annoyed by paying just to hang out in our own building. i have been chatting with a few people about the best way to get this in front of the union higher ups so stay tuned.

i honestly cant believe how fast this is moving. seeing everyone agree that we shouldnt be paying to sit in our own social space is so validating and proves we are onto something real here.

As a student who lives off campus it is especially off putting for socialising on campus when you have to pay to enter your own student union.
All the money that Sparrows generates is recycled back into the Students Union which pays for staff, equipments, major events nights, products (alcohol, food) etc. But you're all so cheap that you're complaining about paying £2/3 entry fee. In addition they're open three times a week, all of which are events. (Shuffle Monday's, Vibes Wednesday and Soap Friday). So in reality you're petitioning for for entry fees to be scrapped for 'non event' based night when in fact they don't have any. Therefore making this ridiculous facade you call a petition irrelevant.
100% I have never heard of a university charging to enter its Union. No charge on weekdays will encourage more students to come in for a quiet pint and to play a bit of pool.
Its understandable that Soap requires payment for the hiring of equipment and all but for non event nights entry fees are ridiculous.
Totally agree with the non payment of the fees, more people will attend the events knowing that it is free entry...
students have no money as it is, this doesn't help.
Legend!!

Ridiculous that we have to pay just to sit in there for a drink. Should definitely be free on weeknights like any other normal pub.
