AU Edge: With AU President Tom Moore
So the annual round of Christmas and examinations are over. The bright jumpers and family arguments soon faded into last minute revision for those crucial exams and now you are probably sat there thinking that you can go back to doing nothing in particular until the next set of exams are upon you. That is partially correct but you need to do something over the next term or so to keep the boredom away.
Therefore perhaps now is the time to give those people you have learnt to avoid over the last term (or years) a chance to talk to you. I am talking about your college sports reps. If you ever find yourself thinking that you are bored and can’t bear the idea of sitting in the library any longer, I guarantee that college sport will take a few hours of your time up and that you’ll have fun in the process, as well as releasing the competitive edge inside of you. Events this term includes things such as a contact sevens rugby tournament, a swimming gala as well as the usual weekly sports. Check out the Athletic Union website or get hold of a sports rep for more information. Especially if you’re a part of Halifax college!
On another note, the Varsity tournament is coming up in week 6. This is our annual tournament with York St. John. Nearly 30 fixtures will take place on the Wednesday of week six, rounded off by a ceremony in Toffs. This really is a growing event and is well worth putting in your diaries. Come along and support our university in the quest to achieve bragging rights for university sport in the city.
There are plenty of other events to watch out for this term as well, including a charity dodgeball tournament, quad-racket tournament and elections for positions on he AU for next year. If you fancy having a go at my job next year, now is the time to start thinking about it - the whole election saga will be with us in no time. If you want to know anything about these, do feel free to come into the office or send me an email. Other events you might be interested in are the trips that are currently being organised by the Surf Club and the Ski and Snowboard Club. Both these clubs are organising trips over Easter. These are always popular events and rightly so, not only are they a chance to show your prowess on the slopes but it is also a great chance to make new friends. Contact the clubs for more details.
