Hi, I'm Alice Holloway, your Athletic Union Officer for 2011-12. Welcome to Newcastle Athletic Union (AU) - the following web pages are designed to give you all the information you will need about sport at Newcastle!
Our Athletic Union currently boasts one of the most diverse ranges of sporting options in the Country, providing facilities on a broad range of levels; from outstanding athletes who compete at an international standard, to those who simply wish to get fit and have fun. In recent years, a dramatic improvement has been seen, not only in national recognition (we have been Top 15 in the BUCS rankings for the last three years), but also in terms of the opportunities available to all of our students.
Moreover, the Athletic Union is continually expanding it's membership. At present, you can choose to compete for 59 different sports clubs, from traditional sports such as Rugby, Football, Hockey and Netball, to more diverse alternatives such as Clay Target Shooting and Thai Boxing. However, regardless of discipline, we all proudly represent the University as one entity... Team Newcastle!
The Athletic Union's biggest strength is without a doubt the fact that it is student led. This allows students the opportunity to not only get involved in, but feel ownership over the mechanisms and driving forces that push the Athletic Union onwards and upwards. I am sure that with the continued positive working relationship with, and backing of the Sports Centre, Team Newcastle will continue to raise our standards even higher over the coming year.
For information on any of the Athletic Union club or sport in general, you can contact me directly on the links below, or go direct to the sport of choice, all details are on this site in the List of Clubs Section.
