Societies at Newnham

Newnham Basketball Club is a club for basketball players of any proficiency
level. Whether you play for the university team or only encountered
basketball in your PE class or haven't touched a basketball before, as long
as you are interested in joining the sport, you are welcome to join our
team (:

We currently play in the inter-collegiate league against other colleges and
have some female members from other colleges joining our team as well.
Practices are usually from 4.30pm to 5.30pm on Fridays at the Tennis Courts
in Newnham. Matches are about twice a term on Sundays at Kelsey Kerridge
Sports Centre.

If you would like some exercise, make new friends or are just interested in
playing basketball, please contact Zijun (zy236) or Angel (hk347) or simply
come along for the practice sessions on Fridays. 

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!

Info on past and upcoming events

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 Lacrosse Club meets approximately twice a week, with one practice session and a match at the weekend. The lacrosse club plays in the Cuppers (inter-collegiate) mixed lacrosse league and at the end of the 09/10 season has moved into the top division! The lacrosse club, although based at Newnham, is joined on a regular basis by players from Pembroke, Robinson and Fitzwilliam colleges and is always on the lookout for new recruits who are looking to play mixed lacrosse at college level. Please contact the captain for more information.

Newnham College Lacrosse Club is a lively society for players of all abilities, from complete beginners to University level. Come along and give it a go!

We play joint with Sidney and have one match a week during the Michaelmas & Lent terms, competing in the college league with cuppers at the end.

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.
