Newnham Badminton Club
President: Sarah (seb77)
Vice President : Katherine (klg41)

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.

Practices are held every Saturday from 4-6pm at the Leys School Sports Centre (which is very close to college). We supply shuttles for both matches and practices and we also have a number of rackets if you do not have your own.

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.

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
Captain: Sally Mantell sjm253@cam.ac.uk

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!

Newnham College Pool Club
Captain: Emma Pewsey (ep320)

If you enjoy playing pool (whether or not you're any good at it!) or want
to learn how to, then this is the society for you! We compete in the
Women's division of the college leagues (which we won last year!) and hold
regular practices in the bar - to find out more, email Emma to be added to
the mailing list.

Newnham College Rugby
Captain: Laura Duke lmd42@cam.ac.uk

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.

Newnham Netball Club
First team captain: Amelia (ag554@cam.ac.uk)
Second team captain: Louise (ln246@cam.ac.uk)

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.

Newnham Running Club
Emma (edg28@cam.ac.uk)
Izzy (ise21@cam.ac.uk)

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!

If you would like to be added to the mailing list, please contact the Izzy or Emma or check out our website.
