Colours Ball Round-Up

Well, how incredible was Colours Ball?! Our sports clubs took over the De Vere Beaumont Hotel on Saturday night and showed what it means to be part of the Bears family.

As I said in my closing speech, I cannot stress how incredibly proud the entire team and I are, of every single group this year. I knew how amazing sports clubs were when coming into this role, but bloody hell I didn’t know to what extent! The work that you put in day in, day out is what makes me look forward to coming in to work every day. Regardless of whether you won an award or not, your work does not go unnoticed and I can’t begin to say how excited I am for next year already.

This year saw a record number of members within our sports clubs, and seeing participation increase is fantastic! So much of that is down to your recruitment and all the fantastic work at Freshers' Fair.

With regards to the event itself, I just want to give a massive shout-out to the people that make it happen. We really do try and make Colours Ball as student focused as possible, and the event would not happen without the entire Student Opportunities team, but in particular Alison Baker (Events & Give It A Go Coordinator) who effectively puts it all together.

There’s one more individual that I’d like to thank. Megan Beddoe (Sports Clubs Coordinator) came into her role at the beginning of the year, after being a Sabbatical Officer at LSE. Sitting behind Megan every day at work I cannot stress just how much of a workload Megan has, from organising all weekly fixtures, to communicating with other universities, booking facilities, processing payments and sorting event proposals. I can honestly say that I would have struggled to be in this role without her and she has taught me so much. I know how much the clubs mean to her and she loves seeing you all succeed.

I'll stop rambling now, but before I do I’m sure you know there’s quite a big event happening next week, which has sports clubs at the heart. I’m sure you’re all excited for Varsity 2019 - let’s go and show Surrey we are #ComingBackStronger. I can’t wait to see you all smash it!
