Biologists at Newnham is a society that represent the Biological Natscis. We organise an options evening for first years, a garden party for all Biologists in May week and arrange stash for those who want it. Have a look at our brand new logo below, designed by Eva Muiruri.
Cambridge Student Methodist Society (or MethSoc) is a welcoming, friendly group of Christian students who meet for worship, fellowship, and study, with much emphasis on faith and fun!
We do this through various events - the main meetings with speakers on Sundays at Wesley Church, coffee on Sunday evenings, weekly small groups for Bible study and fellowship, end-of-term retreats, and other regular social meet-ups, including formal halls, punting and cinema trips.
The society serves students - undergraduate and graduate - of all the colleges of the University of Cambridge, as well as of Anglia Ruskin University. MethSoc is open to anyone of any denomination or none, not just Methodists!
In MethSoc you will find many different personalities, and together we manage to get through the madness that inevitably faces students at university (adding a little madness of our own along the way!).
CUUNA aims to spread the spirit of the United Nations (UN) within the University of Cambridge and youth in the local community by promoting a greater understanding of the roles, functions and potential of the UN, its Charter and its agencies with special attention to the Millennium Development Goals. The societiy also organises a trip to UN headquarters in Geneva each year.
Fisher House is the Catholic chaplaincy of the university. Apart from services and Bible studies we do regular social events such as weekday lunches, parties and trips. We also have our own bar and library. The college reps are more than happy to answer any questions or show you where it is (opposite brb and the waffle house!)
The Newnham Anonymous Players (or N.A.P as otherwise known) are an up and coming theatrical force, with a history of experimental theatre and some rather daring performances.
We are committed not only to bringing great drama to Newnham, but to making play production more accessible for all the budding theatrical talent within and outside our college - whether you have a lot or a little experience.... So if you're interested in any aspect of theatre don't hesitate to contact Helen (hah33) for more information!
Our next performance will be...
Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, 17th-19th November, Newnham

The Newnham Arts and Photographic Society is a very informal and friendly society - the Committee exist to keep the Art Room stocked full of arts supplies for you to use, and to arrange classes and workshops for anyone to attend. There is no formal membership; all you have to do to use the Art Room is to fill in a form from the Tutorial Office and give it to the Porters.
We also look after the Dark Room - at the moment, we're trying to get it up and running again after nearly a year of disuse, but we will let you know when it's ready, and then after a brief induction by one of the committee, you can sign the key out whenever you want to develop your own photos from film.
We're always keen for more hands to keep things running smoothly, so if you think you know a bit about how to run a dark room, or you'd like to make sure the Art Room's kept tidy and easy for everyone to use - or you're looking for an opportunity to go shopping for art supplies while someone else foots the bill! - then please do send us an email and we'll do our very best to get you involved as much or as little as suits you.
Newnham Badminton Club is open to all members of the college and to players of all abilities. Members of the badminton club can chose to play competitively or just for fun.

We currently have 3 teams in the intercollegiate league. This means that if you want to play competitively there will be a team for you, whatever your ability.

Newnham Basketball Club is a club for basketball players of any proficiency

team (:

have some female members from other colleges joining our team as well.

Newnham College Boat Club is a women's boat club at the heart of the University of Cambridge. We were founded in 1893 and have pioneered women's rowing at this university. Over 100 years later we are still going strong! We are the oldest and most successful women's boat club in town and look back on a proud tradition. In addition to races on the Cam, our rowers have gone on to compete in national and international regattas with phenomenal success - most recently at the Beijing Olympics.
Looking for an activity that is challenging, stimulating, loads of fun and squarely based on friendship and teamwork? Join NCBC - there is much to discover!
NCBC crews compete in races both on the Cam and off, most notably in the Lent and May Bumps at the end of Lent and Easter Term respectively. In addition, we regularly host cocktail parties, boat club dinner and garden parties to make sure our members have as much fun off the river as on it.
Novicing takes place in Michaelmas and Easter Term.
Check out the the NCBC website and Wikipedia article for more info.

Newnham College Football Club is a society that aims to help its members get fit and have fun at the same time. Games are played weekly in the University's college league (division 2) as well as in Cupper's matches which are every other week.

There are of course regular socials and swaps with sporting societies from other colleges. Please drop me an email (mig28) if you would like to know more!

reports:
Primarily for college's lawyers, but all others are welcome to get involved. We run socials throughout the year, so Welcome Drinks, a Christmas dinner and an Annual Supervisor's dinner. The Law Society also runs a biannual mooting competition, organises sponsor's dinners and orders stash.
Newnham Netball Club is a friendly society that doesn't take itself too
seriously and a great way to meet people from other years at college!
We usually have one practice as well as a game against another college
team, which is often held at our college courts. Players of all abilities
are welcome to come along: we have two teams representing the college so
everyone can be fitted in somewhere.
Not only do we have loads of fun, we have had a fantastic season this year with the 1st team winning the 1st division and the 2nd team being promoted!
The Newnham Running Club goes out about once a week. Rather than doing long slow runs which can be rather boring we normally jog out to a college field and do a session consisting of a few shorter faster efforts. This means noone gets left behind, you get stronger at running more quickly and it's more fun.
Timings vary from week to week but we normally complete the session and get back to college within the hour. If you're interested send me an email and I'll add you to the mailing list.
The Newnham Squash Team is a small team who
play other colleges on a weekly basis. Unfortunately we don't have a court
to practice on but I hope this can change next year. We made the final of
Squash cuppers. New players are always wanted!
Hello from Newnham Table Tennis Club! We welcome all experience levels
from none to expert. Just come to have some fun at Fenner's sport centre
every weekend practising Table Tennis. For more challenges, join our team
for the university inter-college league and cuppers! Please contact
htn20@cam.ac.uk for any further information.
We enter cuppers during Easter term, with Saturday matches. Practice times will be based on availabilities of players.
"Fusion is a network of college-based Christian small groups (cells), open to anyone interested in exploring what following Jesus means.

The Stephenson Society is the inter-collegiate engineering society for the Cambridge colleges, Sidney Sussex, Newnham and Wolfson. We meet on a fortnightly basis during the Michaelmas and Lent terms, beginning the year with a freshers' squash and ending it with the StephSoc annual dinner. Throughout the academic year we run talks on engineering, covering the whole spectrum and, more often than not, branching out further into interdisplinary grounds.
This year we've enjoyed a wide variety of talks featuring Red Bull Formula One Racing, the Cabot Circus Project in Bristol, the Karahnjukar Dam Project in Iceland and further wide ranging talks on pixeless displays, the mechanics of biological materials, next generation thorium reactors and the redevelopment of the London 2012 Olympic Games site.
The coming academic year promises to be just as good, if not better! For more information, please visit http://stephsoc.soc.srcf.net/home.php
The Newnham Arts Society, way back when, invited Virginia Woolf to come and give a lecture at newnham, a lecture which would become 'A Room of One's Own.' The society was re-launched two years ago by Dr. Pam Hirsch our senior treasurer. We invite speakers from across the arts, male and female, to come and speak at Newnham.
