Club of the Week

Club of the Week

Gay University Group

The primary aim of our club it to give the many hundreds of gay people on this campus both students and staff, female or male, a better social life. We meet informally at various people's homes, flats, etc. in a supportive, non-political atmosphere. University is a good place to make friends so if you are gay and want to make some gay friends then why not come out and join us. For information ring...........Sharleen 721-111, Ken 721-167. or Trevor 862-449

Scottish Country Dance Club

A lot of people are turned off the thought of Scottish Country Dancing, either because they think it sounds boring and old fashioned, or because they're too intimidated to show up and risk making a fool of themselves in front of a whole lot of perfectionists.

We're neither of these. Scottish Country Dancing can provide a fun time with a little exercise. We've been in existence for 5 years, and as well as being affiliated to VUWSA, belong to the Wellington Region of the New Zealand Scottish Country-Dance Society. We're not all students, we have a number of ex and non-students to provide a bit of variety. We have a teacher to show us the basic steps and different dances, but the main emphasis is on having a good time, which we manage to do as we bumble foot our way through one dance after another. The Honourable Secretary is one of the most un-coordinated people you're ever likely to see, so if she can manage anyone can!

We do have an opportunity to get dressed up and go to formal dances, which are held by all the clubs in the Wellington Region. Those who went had a really great time at the Lower Hutt formal a fort-night ago, and the Region Ball held last weekend. We'd like to see a whole lot of new faces, and particularly urge any prospective beginners to lose their shyness and join in with us. We meet every Tuesday 5.30 - 7.30 pm in the dance room of the gym. For further information ring Megan, 738-206.

Victoria University Harrier Club

With the running or jogging explosions in the late 70's the Victoria Harrier Club has been trying to expand its student numbers. The Club holds invitation runs and organises for the keener runners to compete in races and relays. The club organises invitation runs and races during the 6 months of the harrier season from April to October.

The Harrier Club is over 50 years old with membership of keen and not so keen runners of about 50. The club is open to people of any fitness who want to have an occassional job or seriously train towards races.

Victoria University Harrier Club is one of the top three clubs in Wellington. Remember that inter-club races are team events so that all runners in a club help to get the club to its high position.

The Harrier season consists of the early cross country season, then the road relays, and finally the road season, Relays consist of usually 3 grades up to 10 runners in each team, so that you can fit your style and caliber to a certain team and leg.

The Invitation run and post run pub sessions are the social backbone of the club. So come along to an invitation run and get rid of exam and study tensions. So have fun, get fit, and see places in Wellington you may never see otherwise.
