Committees
Become an active member by joining one of our fun committees
Want to do more than just swim or play water polo? Join the fun! With 12 different committees, there is always one that is a perfect fit for you. Twice a year, you can apply for your preferred committee and enjoy all the perks of being an active member, from exclusive activities to close connections within the association.
Activity committee
The Activity Committee is responsible for organizing all activities within Avalon. This includes monthly drinks at the Prins and the active member days, or another outing after the Thursday training. Besides these, the Activity committee organizes larger activities such as a Christmas dinner, pub crawl or a beer bike ride. Everyone is always welcome to share new ideas with the committee to organize more great activities.
Swim Committee
The Swim Committee is tasked with all things swimming-related that are not the normal training. This means inviting guest trainers, preparing special training and organizing the clinics. Together with the Swim Commissioner, the Swim Committee prepares our members for the NSZK competitions by making divisions and specializing training.
Water Polo Committee
The Water Polo Committee is tasked with everything related to water polo that is not the normal training, including inviting guest instructors and organizing special training. Besides this, the Water Polo Committee is also responsible for setting up cross training with other associations. Together with the Water Polo Commissioner, the Water Polo Committee prepares our members for the NSWK competitions by making divisions and specializing trainings.
Promo Committee
The Promo Committee is responsible for creating and upholding Avalon’s image. This means being in charge of our social media accounts, taking pictures, updating the website, and distributing promotional material such as flyers. The Promo Committee is in close contact with other committees so they can have something promoted if they so desire. If any other committees need anything designed in the Avalon style, they may request the Promo Committee to create something.
Acquisition Committee
The Acquisition Committee focuses on the acquisition of sponsors and merchandise. These sponsorships will be used to pay for activities and/or new materials. In return, Avalon will, for example, promote the organization on its social media accounts. Avalon merchandise already includes sweaters, shirts, bags, bathings suits and caps and can be expanded to other things like socks, bottles, slippers etc. In short, most things that include an Avalon logo.
Lustrum Committee
The Lustrum Committee is responsible for organising the 15th Lustrum of Avalon this year. This includes organising activities, merchendise, a lustrum song and more.
MEWE Committee
The Members’ Weekend Committee will organize our yearly activity, the members’ weekend. To promote integration between our members, and to have an all-around great time, all Avalon members are invited to spend a weekend with us somewhere far away from Tilburg. The exact itinerary of this activity is to be decided by the committee.
Swim for Charity Committee
For this yearly event we will collaborate with the Red Cross Studentdesk again next year to organize the beloved swim marathon for charity. This committee, consisting of Avalon and Red Cross student desk members, is responsible for a clean planning and execution of the event. They decide which charity we’re going to swim for and what the night is going to look like. For the marathon itself, they are encouraged to invite volunteers to help with the night itself.
Bar Committee
The Bar Committee is responsible for manning the bar during our monthly drinks at the Prins and at other events that may be held. At every activity, there are at least two Bar Committee members present. Besides serving drinks, they work together with the activity committee to make sure all members are having fun. As compensation for their work, the bar Avalonians receive a set number of free drinks during their shift.
Avalumni Committee
The Avalumni Committee is in charge of staying in contact with all our old Avalonians. After someone has stopped their studies, but still wants to stay close to Avalon, they may elect to be a part of this committee. The Avalumni committee organizes occasional activities and open trainings for Avalumni.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the work of the treasurer and ensuring the Privacy Statement is followed. The committee members will verify the financial data and data usage twice per year and add or correct when necessary.

Students from all over The Netherlands will be invited to take part in this weekend.
