So then..to pick up where we left off in the last edition in November. Of course fixtures are still bumbling along as usual, however, due to the snow we had severe disruptions to many games before Christmas. Our teams are still flourishing with 10 of our 22 BUCS sides in prime position at the top of the league, so a huge well done and captains keep up your amazing work.

December came and went and a lot of the teams, particularly Hockey, bid farewell to their American team mates. I have to say it was quite a sad occasion to see so many girls that had got hugely involved in the Hockey teams, especially in a social capacity, go back to their homeland. However we do say a big welcome to more American students who flocked to Christ Church at the start of this term. Let’s hope the new bunch get equally involved within our Sports and Societies.

January, usually quite a quiet time for the Student Union, hasn’t been quite so for Sports and Societies this year. The new term saw our Re Fresher Fayre where our teams had a second chance to attract more students into their Sports and Societies. The day was a great success for many and I think I may have even been convinced to join Karate. Watch out I’ll be a black belt in no time!! Next we saw the Sports Federation Auction take the Student’s Union by storm on Wednesday 20th January. Myself and my beautiful assistant Kal took to the stage to auction off an array of different prizes that had been donated by various businesses in town. These ranged from meal for two coupons, alcohol, hairdressing vouchers, Big Phil’s cleaning services and the football President and his sidekick Jenga sold to cook the bidder and their house mates a meal. I heard they do a mean sausage casserole; I am just going to say the Union is in no way responsible if these chefs give their guests about of food poisoning! I have to say though. without a shadow of a doubt. the star of the show was Amy Wragg. The Intra mural football boys battled against the Hockey boys in fierce bidding war to have this beautiful lady as their slave for the night, not sexual I might add! Wragg was sold to C4 Rejects for a mighty £101.50. All in all I have to say it went down well with the teams and we raised a tremendous £300. Keep coming to the Union on a Wednesday night, whether you belong to a Sports team or not, the atmosphere is great and it’s all for a good cause.

In other news preparations for the Sports Federation Dinner and Varsity, are well under way with our teams coming face to face with our rivals for a photography session of our captains in the Cathedral grounds. It’s going to be a thrilling second term so get as much out of it as you can. And again if you are reading this and aren’t involved in a Sport or Society, change that and get involved. Come see me upstairs in the Students’ Union.
