Social events

In addition to attending the Athletic Union (AU) night held once a month, we also hold a welcome party, so all new members can get to meet each other and the current members. Regular socials are organised throughout the year, such as our annual Christmas meal, so don't hesitate to get involved! Our vibrant social calendar is central to our friendly and team-orientated atmosphere.
