Hockey Club changes social
The University of York Hockey Club (UYHC) has elected to change the theme of its notorious annual ‘Wife Beaters’ social this year, after concerns over its welfare implications. The theme of last Wednesday’s social was changed to ‘Bollywood and British’ after Rob Newton and Sophie Hossack, UYHC Presidents, said that they wished to “alter this theme to ensure it fitted in with the changing attitudes within in the club” and that they “constantly encouraged to see the positive way in which the club is developing”. Newton and Hossack added: “No member of YUSU talked to us or asked us to change the social.” would be an appropriate theme for the Hockey Club.
