Taster Sessions

Most sports societies are currently unable to host taster sessions in welcome week due to staffing issues at David Ross Sports Village. 

Any updates on the status of our existing tasters taking place the following week (Monday 28th Sept ->), or any new taster we will hold will be via our Facebook Page.

If you are interested in joining the club later in the year please feel free to come along to an Engage session (details to come later via this website/Facebook), or send a message to us and we'll be happy to arrange something.
