Can’t see what you were after? Not all of our clubs run a taster session this weekend, so if there is something that you liked the sound of at the bunfight or have seen on susu.org then get in contact with the club directly (you can find out their contacts at: susu.org/something-for-everyone/sports/2012), or sign up to their mailing list at susu.org/getinvolved to find out how to try it.
Don’t worry if you can’t make it this weekend though as there are opportunities to join and get involved throughout the year, and wherever possible our clubs will allow you to attend your first session for free whether it’s this weekend or all the way into the third term.
Wide Lane is the University of Southampton’s sports ground which is located right next to Southampton Airport Parkway train station which you can take the U1 bus to straight from Highfield campus or a short train journey from Winchester station
The Jubilee sports hall and pool are located in the Jubilee sports centre on Highfield campus, and the squash courts, martial arts room and old sports hall are located in The Union on Highfield campus.
