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.

Innovation

Lancaster University Innovation Society focuses on three chosen areas: Political innovation, Management innovation and Technology innovation. From these areas there are discussions and business games on what effective measures can be made in order to combat the problems of the 21st century. Innovation is key to life and without it we would never be able to transform or develop society. If one or more of these areas interest you and you want to learn more about it, either from other student discussions or you just want to meet open-minded people then this is the right society for you.

Silent Film

Not asking for the moon. I don't mind if you've not seen many silent films. I just want to group together people who are interested or have a possible interest. I'm really serious and dedicated to this. Just trying to spread the idea to as many people as possible. Hopefully it'll get round to people who would really like to get involved. Please pass this on to anybody you think might be interested.

Spanish

Primarily, and for LUMS to be happy, our main objective is to help those people who are either taking Spanish as a second or third language. We also help Spaniards and Latin people studying here to integrate and make it easier to settle-in and solve probems and queries, through our Weekly Spanish Coffee. But, as a "secondary" objective, we bring to the cold-rainy English weather the very best of Spanish partying: Ibiza and Pacha style Parties, themes and music, as well as our food and wine. And you don't even need to be taking Spanish or be Spanish to attend to them!! Tempting?

Taekwondo

Taekwondo is a South Korean Martial art with emphasis on high gymnastics kicks and spins. LUTKD teaches the WTF style (the version of Taekwondo seen in the Olympic games) and as such is geared more towards a fast and fluid fighting style rather than achievement of inner nirvana. Taekwondo practise can dramatically increase your fitness, flexibility and self-confidence. Because we use our legs so much, you will burn the beer off faster than you can put it on - useful considering our social calendar. Come along to one of the training sessions. Monday: The Great Hall Playrooms 6:00pm till 7:30pm Wednesday: George Fox Foyer 6:00pm till 7:15pm

Wilderness Medicine

Wilderness Medicine encompasses all specialities where the care given is far from the availability of more formal help, including; expedition medicine, search and rescue medicine, pre-hospital care medicine, tropical medicine, disaster relief medicine, humanitarian aid medicine, extreme environment medicine (sub-aquatic, high altitude, space) and military medicine. This society aims to promote these specialities and raise awareness of the skills used in management of acute situations in these wilderness settings, by organizing training days and weekends outdoors as well as lectures. Members are also notified of any upcoming courses and expeditions arranged by larger international organizations. The events described are beneficial to medics and non-medics alike and useful skills, particularly for those who lead groups outdoors, will be highly useful.

Wing Chun Kung Fu

The Chinese martial art Wing Chun Kung Fu is not your stereotypical style of kung fu. Unlike the old Kung Fu fighting systems, which tended to mimic the motions of animals and lead to elaborate fighting positions, Wing Chun stressed efficiency of movement and simplicity. This makes it an exceptionally effective form of self defence for people of all sizes. 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. Please look at our website which has our training details on. If you're interested we take new members all year, so come along and see what you think.

We have meetings twice a week where members are welcome to bring a piece of work along, read it to the group and get feedback to improve their writing/ polish their ego. Outside of meetings we like to relax and have regular socials ranging from bar crawls and film nights to a summer residential in a cottage somewhere.
