UCLan Equestrian is all about having fun and that is exactly what we try to do with our socials. We do our best to hold both sober and drinking socials so that even if you don't drink you can join in and have a laugh! As a team we do not believe in pressuring anyone to do anything they do not want to do, our main aim is making sure that you feel comfortable and are having fun with your teammates. Socials are held a few times a month on Wednesday nights after riding.
Dry Socials
Team bonding and having fun are the priority of the club and we try to achieve this through plenty of fun activities. The start of the year will include a team bonding exercise where everyone gets to know each other. In the past year we have done a number of sober socials and trips out, such as team meals at the SU bar Source or Nandos, trips to Robinsons Equestrian megastore to stock up for competitions, bubble football, trampolining and movie nights.
Optional Drinking Socials
As with any university sports team, our favourite nights are the themed socials. These will usually begin with plenty of games at pre-drinks at a members house or at Source Bar, followed by a hilarious night at Popworld and occasionally ending in Evoque. Themes range from cowboys and indians, Out in Sport, countries, 118-118 and his and hers (along with many others!).
