1 hr confidence: 
special interest councils Explanation: The term "interest group" has a political feel to it, whereas there are many hits on Google for this suggestion. Reference: http://www.michiganreading.org/MRAlocals.html |

6 mins confidence:
interest groups; clubs Explanation: This is what I remember from student days in New Zealand (in the previous millenium!). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2007-07-08 17:17:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I agree with your comment Helen, that this is obviously not what we had at uni. But I think "interest groups" (or "councils", though sounds strange to my ear, as suggested by Terje) would probably do. |

19 hrs confidence:
special interest groups and activities Explanation: Without more context for the actual term as it is used in your text it is difficult to be more precise here, but if it is meant to include both special interest groups and other activities such as sport, this might be helpful.
