Finally, we have our social secretaries… could it be you?

Socials are an integral part of the committee as they bring people together through fun social activities. Some classic activities include Drink to Dan and curry night!

This role is up for grabs as a pair or standalone, so grab a friend if you like. You would be responsible for organizing socials, and preferably someone who like to socialize.

If you would like more details or are interested, dm us or email us at [email protected]

Kickstarting our committee introductions is our captain, Alex!

“I'm Alex, the incoming Captain of the Judo Club. After doing 16 years of Judo, I can honestly say this is the best sport in the world. It will teach you discipline, honour, and respect whilst getting you in the best physical shape possible and teaching you useful real-world skills. It is no wonder it's the most popular grappling sport in the world. At the Univeristy of Manchester Judo Club, I would advise anyone to have a go. Even if you have no experience in sports or martial arts, you will find a new passion.”
