Committees

Aloha is a very active association, thanks to its active members. Therefore, we invite you to become active in one of our committees. Contact the board for more information here.

Alohanium Committee

The Alohanium committee organises a sporty weekend away once a year with the student triathlon association from Groningen, Tritanium.

Bar Committee

This committee (BaCo) takes care of the organisation of Aloha’s “bar days”. During these days, Aloha has to man the bar of the sports centre. Because a part of the income goes to our association, these days are important for Aloha’s finances. They are also a lot of fun and a nice way to give back to the association.

Next to writing articles they also work on the graphical design, promotion and distribution of the Coconut.

Events Committee

This committee (EC) makes sure that besides hardcore training, there are also plenty of activities that take care of some relaxation. Every month they organize a fun activity such as ice skating, a pub quiz, BBQs, dinners and much more. In addition, the EC has the task of organizing the DIES (birthday of Aloha) and the traditional New Year’s dinner. So there is no shortage of fun at Aloha.
