Hi everyone, Steve Gore, your 2018-19 VP Sports here!
01 August 2017 marked an important date for the roughly 9,000 students that use Sport and Wellbeing facilities at the University of Southampton. This was the date when Sport and Wellbeing introduced a new tiered membership system and departed from their “one size fits all” business model, primarily in an effort to manage the overcrowding of the gym in Jubilee Sports Centre.

On Friday 04 May Team Southampton celebrated another fantastic year of sporting achievements at the AU Awards and Ball 2018, held at St Mary’s Stadium. It was a glamorous night where students enjoyed a three-course meal followed by the AU Awards ceremony and a fantastic after party, with Drop Division providing the tunes until the early hours.
It’s been another fantastic year for Team Southampton from our Varsity win against Portsmouth to the hard work and dedication shown from our athletes both on and off the pitch.
The Union has recently invested in new equipment for some of our water sports teams, in collaboration with the University of Southampton. We have purchased new kayaks for the Canoe Polo Club and worked alongside the University in their purchase of new starting blocks for Jubilee swimming pool.
Our Athletic Union invested in a fleet of ten new kayaks for the Canoe Polo Club. As the sport is played 5-a-side, this means the club can now train together with new kayaks suitable for indoor use.
The Jubilee Swimming Pool will soon have new swimming start blocks thanks to investment from … Read the rest
