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. The society's performances are more often than not based in Newnham's own theatrical space, The Old Labs - a versatile studio with a fab lighting rig and box, excellent atmosphere and a projection screen for the arty among you.
For all the Freshers; keep a look out for N.A.P gatherings in the coming term, and do come and introduce yourself to us at the college societies fair.
For all the olds; the times they are a -changing, come get involved in radical
new developments and exciting things! Involving drama and bawdy meetings!
Eyes peeled y'all...watch this space for NEWS OF UPCOMING SHOWS AND AUDITIONS!
Currently, N.A.P President Laura 'Pixie' Hounsom is busy directing a production of William Shakespeare's Lost Play 'Cardenio', in a two week tour of Devon, as well as a three week run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Re-worked by Bernard Richards, the author of previous 4 star N.A.P production 'Ted and Sylvia in Cambridge', this is definitely one to watch! An exclusive and original script re-imagining one of the most hotly debated plays attributed to Shakespeare!
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.
If you would like more information about the club, please contact Sarah (seb77) or Katherine (klg41) or just come along to a practice session.

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.

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.
This club is for anyone who’s keen to run to stay fit during Cambridge terms and wants to meet people to run with rather than running on their own! Most runs are short and at a gentle pace, but there may be a few longer faster runs if people are keen. We lead college jogs once or twice a week and organise teams for the college league races throughout the year. We came joint second in the league last year!
