Well, lets get down to it. Socials are a massive part of our society. Meeting every week, we go on mass to Leamington, Clubs in Coventry, bowling. We've had slave auctions, scavenger hunts, been set numerous a task to lick someone, arm wrestle a stranger, stroke a mans beard... the list is endless.

 

Before we break up we have one of our biggest nights, the Christmas Symposium where everyone comes dressed in togas, it's definitley not to be missed. Our social secs Ryan and Jess are always on hand and never fail to create great nights/days together!

 

In 2009, we went to Rome. In 2010, we went to Athens. In 2011, we went to Sorrento, visiting Pompeii, Vesuvius, and Herculaneum! Everyone who went had the time of their lives and its a great oppurtunity to really get involved in the society and meet some amazing people. Our trip co-ordinator this year is Edd O'Neill.

 

 

The play is a big part of the society. Loads of members get involved and it's a great way to reach out to other students. This past year we put on a great performance of 'Antigone' which was a great success and this year we are looking to put on a performance of Aristophane's 'Clouds'. Keep an eye on the group for information about auditions, crew roles and much more!

Last but not least, the Classics society has in the past few years tried their luck in the KPMG 11 a side football league. Although historically struggling to succeed versus societies and academic departments who have a far larger male contingent, under the astute leadership of Ben Hodges, Classics last year broke out of the mould and became the whipping boys of the division, coming 5th in the league, and eventually making the semi-finals in the playoffs! Captaincy this year is moving over to Edd O'Neill, but we are expecting no less of him and the team. Games will be played on Sunday afternoons, and kickabouts will also be hosted if there is sufficient interest. Everyone who is up for some football is encouraged to get involved, expecially those from first and second years, as the vast majority of the team is now in final year and there is desperate need of new blood to bolster and continue the team. If you want to get involved, search for "warwick classics football" on facebook or send Edd an email at clujao@live.warwick.ac.uk.

Meet this year's exec!
