Annual awards 2016

This year’s annual awards are coming soon! Dust off your dancing shoes, and get ready to suit up as we celebrate your success across student sports and activities. We ask you to nominate who you think the very best of sports and activities are, and you’ll soon receive your voting forms from the Student Activity teams. The more nominations and the more votes, the more chances there are for you to win! A full category of awards will be out soon, along with information about the venue, menu and how to book your table. You'll also have the chance to vote for your preferred venue.

This promises to be better than ever, and a fun way for you and your squad to celebrate all the success, challenges and enjoyment of 2015/16!
