Using the Sports Facilities
Our sports activities are organised jointly by the Centre for Physical Recreation and Sport and the Athletic Union (the central student sporting body).
All students automatically become members of the Athletic Union, and are able to join clubs and use our facilities at a low cost. We make a charge for the use of indoor and outdoor facilities, through an annual membership scheme.
