If you want to do your own version of #internet virus sensation Neck #and Nominate, make sure you do it #riskaware! Here’s our guide to getting spontaneous and having online #lols with you and your mates.

1. Download an Application form and Beverage Approval form from the Clubs and Societies page of the UCLU website. You must submit your forms to the CSC within seven working days.

2. Once your beverage has been approved, obtain a DBS check for each participant in the video.

3. Complete a risk assessment and check your privilege.

4. Seek nominations for the next participant. You must hold an AGM to do this.

5. Once nominations have been received, you can down your drink, which may be up to 250ml in volume, and must only contain milk. Union regulations stipulate that you must take a 15-minute break between each sip.

6. The next nominee, if seconded and elected successfully, will take up the post at the start of the next academic year.

7. Enjoy the fun... but take it easy!
