Airsoft
Welcome to LUAT - Lancaster University Airsoft Team (and society). Airsoft is a military-simulation based sport, it focusses on using real-world military tactics, weapon replicas and vehicles. (If you've seen a gun in Call of Duty... there's an Airsoft version). Often run by current or ex-military personnel, an Airsoft day out is like no other and provides a huge adrenaline rush and a great way to keep fit, meet new people and shoot your friends. You can spend as much or as little as you like on the sport and we are dedicated as a society to keeping costs to a minimum. Airsoft is a team game and we play as such. We are a competitive society and we play to WIN but have a really good laugh in doing so. We may even have some socials from time to time. Anyone is welcome to join, but we have a zero tolerance policy on cheaters and bad sportsmanship.

As well as running classes throughout the year, the society also endeavours to put on an annual show featuring all society members and showcasing routines choreographed by members of our society. Alongside our annual show, other performance opportunities include events around campus such as charity balls, the campus festival and the college extravs at the end of the year. Opportunities to perform at such events are open to all members of the society. LUDanS also have our own competition squad who compete at events such as Durham Dance Fusion, Roses (an annual competition against the University of York), and Lancaster in Motion, our own competition hosted on Lancaster University Campus. This is a great way for our more advanced dancers to get more involved, however we encourage everyone to try it out. Auditions are usually held in the first week of term, however more information will be given during freshers week. As well as dancing, we also have many socials throughout the year, giving all members a chance to socialise and make friends. Some examples include trips to the cinema and themed nights out. Membership for the year is only £10 and for the lessons we work on a one pound per class basis. We place emphasis on having a great time whilst developing our dancing skills, and gaining valuable performing experiences at the same time. The classes have a great atmosphere and, with having about 150 members, provide an excellent way of making potentially life-long friends.

Gaming
Hey there, we're the Gaming society, we always say no matter the platform or genre, if there's enough people and controllers around, we'll try and play it.
For socials, on Saturday's we usually try and have PC LAN's 3 times a term, with console LAN's in between (Where anyone is more than welcome to bring their own equipment down!). The games we play PC wise can be a mixed bag at times, depending on what seems to be popular with the society at a given time, but the main favourite right now seems to be League of Legends. But, if people want to play something else, we will do! For the console LAN's we tend to have Rock Band, Halo & Gears of War most of the time and sometimes Call of Duty playing, but again, if something else wants to be played, it can!
We do also hold more socialising events on Tuesday's, join the Facebook group to stay up to date with what we're doing on Tuesdays, since its not always the same old thing!
But anyway just remember, stop playing with yourself!

Oxfam
The Oxfam Society at Lancaster University began in Nov 2010 and is all about working with the charity Oxfam to raise awareness of their campaigns, hold fund raising events and getting involved in the campaigns they are running. This year we have had a fashion show with reworked Oxfam clothes, worked with the Oxfam shop in town to have a stall at the farmers market at the University, raised awareness of the Robin Hood Tax Campaign and had training sessions in useful areas from members of the Oxfam Team in Manchester and we are hoping to continue all of these things, and do more this year! The aim of the society is to promote and raise money for these campaigns. We meet once a week (usually a Thursday) and have fun, talk about what we can do and organize as many events as possible! Its a great way to make new, like minded friends and help save the world!

Ultimate frisbee is a sport that is growing in popularity around the world. Ultimate is like American football in that to score, you have to catch the disc (frisbee) in the opposing end zone.

Additionally, it has elements of netball as you are not allowed to move once holding the disc except for one foot which you pivot off.

Wing Chun is a friendly society, so it is a great place to meet new people and learn to defend yourself and therefore boost your confidence.
